Ryan Grabosch (Salpointe) earned a spot on the NJCAA All-Academic Team Central Arizona announced last week. The Vaqueros were the NJCAA 2019 National Champions and the teams was 19-9-2 when the season got canceled this spring.
Grabosch appeared in 18 games as a freshman batting .262 with four doubles and four RBI.
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.
Portions from news release.
We have recognized 75 athletes so far this year. We recognized 195 athletes in 2019.
