This past Wednesday, May 24, 2023, at Fletcher High School we had the privilege of presenting scholarships to two very deserving seniors in memory and honor of my mentor, coach, and good friend, Officer Eddie Bounds. These scholarships were presented to Dacie Watterson and Hannah Christian for their Outstanding Academic Performance in Education and Leadership and for exhibiting the characteristics of Officer Bounds, who was a great man measured by his deeds to help, assist, befriend, mentor, and coach everyone.
Congratulations Dacie and Hannah and best wishes in your future endeavors.
