Spring sports athletes honored at banquet
In a room packed with coaches, parents, faculty, staff and friends, Tallulah Falls School student-athletes were honored May 10 during the Spring 2016 Athletic Awards Banquet held at the Dillard House.
"Though 2015-16 was the most successful athletic year in TFS history in terms of wins, Area/Region placement, and state advancement, we are most proud of the sportsmanship of student-athletes and the daily process they took to develop our "Team First" mentality," said Athletic Director Scott Neal. "We are grateful for coaches who structure for a "Season of Significance" and who host GREAT events that represent TFS as the incredible educational family it is."
Awards were presented to participants in baseball, golf, girls soccer, tennis and track and field programs as follows:
“I am Tallulah” award, presented by Athletic Director Scott Neal to TFS President and Head of School Larry A. Peevy for his support and leadership of all athletic programs. Shown with Peevy is multiple-award winner Michael Weidner.
