US Lacrosse has announced the boys’ and girls’ high school players selected as recipients of the 2020 Bob Scott Award for boys and the Jackie Pitts Award for girls. These awards recognize one player from each geographic area who goes ‘above and beyond’ in service to his/her team, school, and community.
This year, 32 boys and 33 girls were recognized for their efforts on and off the field. All selectees are high school seniors. US Lacrosse oversees the selection of the awards, which are administered locally by Area Chairs. Selections are based on voting by coaches within each geographical area. The award recipients are listed below.
Honored from the region as Jackie Pitts winners were Conestoga’s Alex Aufiero and Newark Charter School’s Emma Ueltzhoffer.
