On Saturday, March 7, GF Hoops awarded the Matthew Poyner Youth Leadership Scholarship to four high school seniors from the Great Falls community. The scholarship was named for Matthew Poyner, a sophomore at Langley High School who quietly passed away in his sleep on Feb. 24, 2015. Matthew was an assistant coach for GF Hoops and was working with a fifth grade boys team this season. He was dedicated to GF Hoops and believed strongly in giving back to the community. This year’s recipients are: Gage Beckwith, Nicholas Ehat, Meagan Fountain, and Jenny Labovitz. They were awarded the scholarships based on their commitment to GF Hoops and their leadership within GF Hoops. All four recipients were involved with GF Hoops as players, as coaches and as referees.
