TUESDAY, MAY 12, 2020 | Facebook LIVE | 7:00 PM | facebook.com/PensacolaSports/
Due to COVID-19 we have made the decision to turn the awards banquet into a virtual ceremony. As much as we wanted to recognize each students accomplishments in person, this is in the best interest of everyone's health and safety.
We will announce all nominees and scholarship winners on the scheduled date of May 12 on Facebook Live at 7:00 PM from the Pensacola Sports Facebook Page. We encourage all families to come together in your homes for a nice family dinner before tuning into the live stream.
Thank you for your understanding.
Each year, Pensacola Sports brings together the top senior student-athletes in each sport from Escambia and Santa Rosa County schools for a dinner and scholarship recognition program. 227 seniors, over 750 total people, were in attendance last year at Olive Baptist Church for the Annual Senior Scholar Athlete Banquet Presented by Sacred Heart Health System. Join us again as we celebrate a new class of seniors at the Annual Senior Scholar Athlete Awards Banquet.

Schools in both Escambia and Santa Rosa nominate their senior athletes for each sport and submit the paperwork to Pensacola Sports. A selection committee made of educators, community leaders, and Pensacola Sports board members reviews the anonymous applications and select the best person’s credentials for each sport. Those are the individual sport winners. Then they select the overall male and female winners from the individual sport winners.
