Four students receive PVC scholarships

Two Hermon High senior student-athletes were among the four random winners of a $2,000 scholarship from the Penobscot Valley Conference at Sunday’s banquet in Brewer.

Chris Harding and Jenna Redman of Hermon High each won a scholarship, along with Gina Luchini of Ellsworth and Nokomis of Newport’s Dan York, in a random drawing of names.

Each of the 31 PVC schools was allowed to send up to four student-athletes who had participated in at least one sport during their senior years. Four names – two male, two female – were drawn for the scholarships. It was the first time the PVC has done the drawing.

The money for the scholarships was raised at a golf tournament last summer. The PVC will send the scholarship money to the college or university in each student’s second semester.
