High School Hall of Fame

Last night my youngest brother, Scott, was inducted into the
Campolindo High School
Football
Hall of Fame



We didn't even know it existed until a couple of months ago when his former coach called him and told him he had been chosen to be one of 3 former players to be honored this year. We weren't sure what to expect, but it was a very impressive evening. There was a huge crowd of people. His coaches had asked Scott to send them some pictures which they had made up into a scrapbook, a display as we walked in and a DVD they showed when it was his turn to be honored. Former coaches and players were included on the DVD. Some of the things they said about Scott were that "he is one of the nicest guys I've every known", "he worked hard and never complained", one coach got a good laugh when he said "you'll always be my favorite Mormon".
The coach had obviously told the current team members about Scott and the other inductees. Three of the graduating seniors read quotes Scott had written about his football days.
It was so fun to relive Scotts glory days in high school. I'd forgotten about the interception and run for a touchdown - loved the victory cheer.



His trophy read...
1st Team All-League Offensive Lineman
Outstanding Player Performance Award
3-Years Varsity Football Player
3 Sport Athlete (Football, Basketball and Baseball)
Last of 5 Brothers to Play Campolindo Football
I was very proud and happy for you Scotty. I know of 5 brothers and lots of nieces and nephews that are so happy for you a little jealous of the cool/huge trophy you received.
Congratulations!!!
