Senior Scholar Athlete Awards Banquet 2023
Monday, May 15, 2023
Each year, Pensacola Sports brings together the top senior student-athletes in each sport from Escambia and Santa Rosa County schools for a scholarship recognition program. Join us in congratulating our 2023 class of Senior Scholar-Athlete winners.
Schools in both Escambia and Santa Rosa nominate their senior athletes for each sport and submit the paperwork to Pensacola Sports. A selection committee made of educators, community leaders, and Pensacola Sports board members reviews the anonymous applications and selects the best person’s credentials for individual sport winners as well as the overall male and female winners from the individual sport winners.
Join us in congratulating our 2023 class of Senior Scholar-Athlete winners.
