Eight recent area graduates will be among 54 throughout the state to receive recognition — and college scholarships — in the 17th annual Ohio High School Athletic Association Scholar-Athlete Scholarship Banquet on Friday, June 19.
The event will be held at the Crowne Plaza Columbus North.
Everyone will receive at least $1,000 scholarships and two from each of the six districts will receive $2,000 scholarships.
Southwest District area grads to receive the awards are:

“Their achievements are truly amazing and should give everyone confidence that our future is in great hands, ” said OHSAA Commissioner Dan Ross in a release.
“I also want to salute the parents and school personnel who played such an important role in the successes these students enjoyed and the OHSAA Foundation and our corporate sponsors who have generously helped finance the scholarships.”
Recipients are judged on point system that combines GPA, ACT and SAT scores, varsity letters, athletic honors and an essay. Grads who already have signed NCAA Division I or D-II athletic scholarships are not eligible.
Also, Miami University men’s basketball coach Charlie Coles will be given the OHSAA Ethics and Integrity Award.
