Football players get ready to play against their rival, Hollidaysburg on August 23. Senior football players, as well as other senior athletes, are eligible for this scholarship.

The Big A Booster club is offering their annual scholarships to any senior athlete. The club will be giving away up to five scholarships for post- secondary education to athletes.

“The purpose of the membership drive is so that we have more funds and more ways to support our teams. We also each year give out numerous scholarship awards to student athletes,” athletic director Phil Riccio said.

Students must be seniors and their parents have to be members of the Big A Booster club to be eligible. Students can pick up their application at the guidance counselor office later this year.

About the Contributors

Andie Kephart, Reporter

After being a part of the Livewire staff last school year, I decided to join Mountain Echo for my freshman year. Outside of school I enjoy doing competitive weightlifting and spending time with my friends. I have been lifting for three years now and have competed in many national competitions all across the U.S. My future plans are to go to Penn State and become a physical therapist.

Charlie Kephart, Editor in Chief

Hey! During my third year on staff, my senior year, I have taken on the role of being Editor in Chief for Mountain Echo. My sophomore and junior year, I served as associate editor. Outside of school I enjoy hanging out with my best friend, exercising, watching Netflix, photography and working as a lifeguard and teaching swim lessons at the YMCA. After high school I plan to pursue a medical path, with the intent of being a nurse practitioner. I'm looking forward to this school year and seeing what it brings our way!
