Scholarship and Award Criteria

"Most Complete Player"

Quinn Keast pursued his adopted mission of developing a “complete” game in the way that he played basketball with undying determination and dedication to do his best. He played with tenacity, intensity and heart on both ends of the floor. These qualities are not necessarily reflected on the score sheet, but every coach recognizes the intangible and invaluable contribution to team

success. Quinn was unable to fulfill his dream of playing basketball after high school but there are many who can realize this goal.
