A.F. Bridges Award Winners

HERMITAGE- - The A.F. Bridges Awards Program announced in the winter issue of the TSSAA News the 27 Divisional Finalists for 2005-06. Also, the nine schools that won the A.F. Bridges' State Award of Excellence were recognized.

For the fourth consecutive year, the TSSAA Board of Control earmarked $27,000 toward a scholarship fund to recognize one outstanding student athlete from each of the 27 schools that were Divisional Finalist for the A.F. Bridges Awards. Each school was asked to recognize a person who represents the essence of good sportsmanship and citizenship. The criteria for this nomination was set by each individual school.

Each nominee was asked to provide a complete resume as well as a paper describing what participation in activities has meant to them. Additionally, we asked for input as to their perception of their role and responsibilities as a student leader.

Each student will be awarded the $1,000 scholarship once they have enrolled in college.

We are very proud to announce the 27 A.F. Bridges Scholar Athletes.
