Softball association scholarships recipients

Hoover Softball Association has announced its 2013 Scholarship Award winners from both Hoover High School and Spain Park High School. Awards were based on students’ dedication to the sport of softball and their hard work as students.

Applicants were selected by the HSA scholarship committee, according to years played at the park, community service, leadership in HSA activities such as camps and registration, high school GPA and an essay on how their participation in the HSA program will benefit their particular career goals.   

Madelyn Shelton and Jessica Hamner received $2,000 in scholarship funds. Both played softball for more than 10 years with the HSA program including recreational ball and travel ball through the Hoover White Lightning Association. Madelyn played two years on the Hoover High School Softball Team, and Jessica played for three years on the Hoover High School Softball Team.  Both young ladies plan to attend Auburn University in the fall of 2013.

Kelly Slaten and Madeline Walley of Hoover High School and Dekayla Sankey and Mary Beth Glass of Spain Park High School received $1,000 scholarship awards.
