2004 BRENDAN GRANT SCHOLARSHIP AWARDED TO ELIZABETH MCEVOY

BELMONT - The third annual Brendan Grant Scholarships were awarded at the Senior Student Assembly at Belmont High School in Belmont, MA on Friday, 28 May 2004.  This year's scholarship recipient representing the Belmont High School Varsity Softball team is team Captain Elizabeth McEvoy.  Sincere congratulations are extended to Elizabeth and her family.

The 2004 Belmont High School softball team has had a very successful season, as perhaps best demonstrated by their earning a playoff berth for the first time in approximately 30 years.  Elizabeth has played an important role in the team's success, with a future that is now looking quite promising.  Elizabeth has been a member of the varsity softball team for the past 4 years and has been captain of her team two years running.  She has outstanding leadership skills and is always a team player giving 100 percent on and off the field.  In addition, she is a varsity swimmer and basketball player, and her academic success is represented by being a member of the National Honors Society and the Belmontian Club.  Elizabeth will be attending Harvard University in the fall of 2004.  

The Brendan Grant Scholarship  has been established in memory of Brendan Grant, the accomplished 19-year old Belmont baseball player who was fatally injured  in an outfield collision during a Senior Babe Ruth game in June 200l. The two annual scholarships provides assistance to a senior member of both the Belmont High School varsity baseball team and the Belmont High School varsity softball team who will be attending an institution of higher learning after graduation. The scholarship is intended to reward a player who possesses the same positive spirit and leadership skills for which Brendan was known.
