love to continue to touch the lives of young student-athletes in both SC
and WV.
In Myrtle Beach a scholarship has
been established in Coach A's memory. Initially, it will be awarded to a
graduating senior of St. James High School who played for Scott and later
to an individual desiring to be a teacher.
