Seniors Anna Fox and Cleve Jackson have been selected as Darlington’s recipients of the Vincent J. Dooley Award, which is given by Athletes for a Better World (ABW) in partnership with the Georgia High School Association to the male and female student who best demonstrate character, teamwork and citizenship.
“Anna and Cleve are outstanding student-athletes who are each very deserving of this award,” said Athletic Director Bob Stinchcomb. “Their positive attitudes, work ethic, sportsmanship, character, leadership abilities and contributions to life at Darlington have earned them this recognition. I am so proud of them, and I know they will continue to represent Darlington well in college and beyond.”
Fox plays lacrosse and is a three-year member of the varsity cross country team. She received the cross country Spirit Award in 2007 and served as this year's team captain. Jackson has been a starter on the varsity football team for the past two years, is a team captain, and was named to the All-Area Team. He also plays varsity baseball. As Darlington’s award recipients, they will compete with athletes from every high school in the state of Georgia for a four-year, $1,000 per year college scholarship, which will be presented May 3 at an Atlanta Braves game. Only one male and one female scholarship winner will be selected; these students will also receive $1,000 to donate to a nonprofit organization of their choice.
