Snohomish High School senior Luke Perry has been named the winner of the 2010 Terry Ennis Scholarship.
A two-way starter in football this past fall and currently a member of Snohomish’s state-ranked wrestling team, Perry will receive a $3,000 scholarship presented by the Washington Football Coaches Association and Adrenaline. He will get the award on Jan. 23 during the association’s Hall of Fame banquet at the Hilton Bellevue Hotel. (For ticket information contact Jerry Parrish at jparrish@donobi.net.)
Perry’s list of athletic, academic and service accomplishments is overwhelming. In football, he was a three-time varsity letterwinner, including this past season when he was a team captain who played quarterback and defensive back for the Panthers.
In wrestling, Perry will earn his fourth consecutive varsity letter this winter. He is ranked No. 2 in Class 4A in the 145-pound weight division, according to WashingtonWrestlingReport.com.
There’s more: In addition to having a 4.0 grade-point average, Perry is heavily involved in ASB leadership, Link Crew and National Honor Society, among many other extracurricular groups.
Perry was selected as winner of the second annual Ennis award from a group of 14 finalists, all seniors nominated by their respective head football coaches.
“All the kids are really good and they all jump out at you, but Luke was just a cut above,” said Parrish, the Washington State Coaches Association secretary.
The other local finalists were Chase Crowley (Lake Stevens), Matthew Huggins (Archbishop Murphy) and Danny Stokes (Marysville-Pilchuck).
M-P girls excel on court and in classroom
In addition to having an impressive record on the court this winter, the Marysville-Pilchuck girls basketball team (6-1 Wesco North, 8-3 overall) is doing extraordinarily well school. According to the team roster, nine players have a grade-point average between 3.5 and 3.9: Andi Adams, Shelby Beyer, Emily Enberg, Dacia Heckendorf, Morgan Martinis, Alisha Oden, Chelanne Peterson, Mackenzie Rossnagle and Hannon Watson.
