James Brads of Legacy Christian Academy, and Justin Dirksen of Carroll, were among the Southwest District scholarship recipients.

Brads competed in boys cross country, boys basketball and boys track & field, while Dirksen is listed as a member of the Patriots’ boys soccer squad and boys basketball team.

Since 1993, the Ohio High School Athletic Association has awarded scholarships to some of southwestern Ohio’s top senior scholar-athletes. Forty-six students were presented with monetary awards and recognition totalling over $36,000.

Special scholarships (honorary and memorial) were also presented from the Southwest District Board honoring past district board members with 12 or more years of service to the district.
