    Campbell, Dave Porter, Sr., Dave Porter, Jr., and Jay Munson fired a 28 (-8) to post the best overall score at the nine-hole scramble. Earlier in the day, Campbell and Porter, Jr. teamed with Bryan Chase ’76 and Brian Campbell ’74 to take second with a score of 29. Jim Iannetta, Josh Iannetta ’96, Jake Iannetta ’01 and TJ Mynahan also shot a 29 and took third after tie-breakers were applied.
    Individual prizes were awarded to Bobby Sawyer ’80 (men’s longest drive); Joanne Strout Sincyr ’69 (women’s longest drive); Dan Rosebush ’07 (men’s closest to the line); Sarah Keenan Eluk ’97 (women’s closest to the line); and to Tom Harvey ’68, Jack Sincyr, Marianne Mulherin, Mark Chevalier, Jake Iannetta, Karen Harvey, Campbell (twice), Josh Iannetta, Joanne Sincyr and Porter, Sr. for being closest to the pin on holes 4, 6, or 7 throughout the day.
    The $7,000 raised at this year’s event will benefit the Foxcroft Academy Horizon Scholarship program, which was founded in 1992 to provide students with learning opportunities outside the walls of FA. A record 22 students applied for Horizon Scholarships this spring, and nearly $9,000 was awarded to them. These students will participate in programs ranging from Bangor to San Francisco, including national youth leadership forums on medicine and technology, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, and music camps, to name a few.
