Lori Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I know we have several Bandits/HS lacrosse fans here, and a few people who knew Tom, so I thought some of you might be interested. Oh, and read the entry form closely for a good chuckle. From Prep Talk guru Keith McShea's story: Starting this season, football will have its Connolly Cup, basketball will have its All-Western New York teams, and boys lacrosse will have the Borrelli Award. At the conclusion of each spring season, the top senior boys lacrosse player in Western New York will be honored with the Tom Borrelli Memorial Award. Following Borrelli’s untimely death last November, a committee spearheaded by News Sports Columnist Bob DiCesare established the Tom Borrelli Memorial Award and Scholarship Fund. The award was established in Borrelli’s name in hopes of making a lasting tribute—both to our fallen friend and colleague as well as the sport he loved. A selection committee chaired by this reporter will choose Western New York’s top player after consultation with local coaches and scouts. http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/highscho...ory/654174.html _________________________________________________ When: Monday July 20, 2009, 10 a.m. Shotgun Scramble Where: Holland Hills Country Club Cost: $75 per golfer Please join us in honoring the memory of Buffalo News sportswriter Tom Borrelli.
