Alyssa Brown, Bryanna Olson, Emma Morris, Sam Beskind, Conner Verdugo and Chase Verdugo named Academic All-District

Alyssa Brown (Sahuaro/UNLV), Bryanna Olson (Pusch Ridge/Pima/Hawaii at Hilo), Emma Morris (Chaminade), Sam Beskind (Catalina Foothills/Colorado School of Mines), Conner Verdugo (Walden Grove/Embry-Riddle) and Chase Verdugo (Walden Grove/Embry-Riddle) earned Academic All-District status on Tuesday.

This list will be updated all year in an effort to recognize all former local prep stars who have gone on to achieve either academic and/or athletic awards at the next level. These are not high school awards but collegiate and professional recognitions. NOT CHAMPIONSHIPS. If you are aware of anything I have missed along the way, please let me know. amoralesmytucson@yahoo.com
