Many kids playing youth sports have a goal of one day earning a college scholarship, but most won’t be getting it from the park where they play. On Sunday, seniors Shelby Suplee, of King’s Ridge Christian School, and Harrison Leblanc, of Lambert High School, were each awarded a $1,000 scholarship as part of the Sharon Springs Athletic Association’s first-ever Mike Mangum & Kevin Neenan Memorial Baseball and Softball College Scholarship Program. “I think it was a really cool experience for me because I started playing softball when I was 5 at Sharon Springs, and I still go there probably two or three times a week now, being a senior in high school,” Suplee said.
