Fort Dale Academy senior Cahley Acreman and Georgiana School senior Santos Ortega were recipients of a $3,500 scholarship courtesy of the 2022 Achiever Award Scholarship ceremony, held at LBWCC Thursday evening. Seventeen amazing Butler County student-athletes were nominated for this year’s award. More than 200 guests attended the banquet as each nominee was recognized.
Guests enjoyed a tasty meal of BBQ chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, salad, and chocolate dessert catered by Uncle E’s BBQ, presentation and recognition of each nominee, followed by the announcement of the 2022 scholarship recipients.
