2006 Scholarships to Coates and Connolly

2006 BRENDAN GRANT SCHOLARSHIP AWARDED TO KELLY COATES AND MARTIN CONNOLLY

BELMONT - The fifth annual Brendan Grant Scholarships were awarded at the Senior Student Assembly at Belmont High School in Belmont, MA on Friday, 26 May 2006. This year's scholarship recipient representing the Belmont High School Varsity Baseball and Softball teams are team Captains Kelly Coates and Martin Connolly. Sincere congratulations are extended to Kelly and Martin and their families.

The 2006 Belmont High School softball and baseball teams both had very successful seasons. Each of this year's recipients have played an important role in their team's success. With their outstanding leadership skills, they've helped lead their respective teams to a playoff berth, and the future of both squads is looking quite promising. Kelly will be attending the University of New Hampshire in Durham, and Martin will be attending Michigan State.

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.
