FALL RIVER:<\/strong> Two former players with the Fall River Rebels basketball program are grateful to have been selected as the recipient of the Brenda Wickstrom Memorial Scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oliver Horne and Molly White, both graduates of Lockview High this past June, were announced by the Rebels and Brenda Wickstrom Memorial Scholarship organizers as this year\u2019s recipients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rebels treasurer Matt Sullivan and Steve Wickstrom, Brenda\u2019s husband, presented the scholarships to the two outside Lockview High on Aug. 31. It is usually awarded to one male and one female, and thus the $2,000 is split evenly between the two chosen from those that applied based on criteria for the scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The scholarship is named in honour of Wickstrom, who was a member of the executive of Fall River Basketball in the late\u00a0nineties until her passing in 2004. The scholarship was first presented in 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”111″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate group=”8″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Horne said the money will help him a lot towards tuition at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a big help paying for school,\u201d said Horne. \u201cI\u2019m really grateful for it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said his reaction was of surprise when he found out he was one of the two recipients this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI was really excited about it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n White agreed.
