Each year, the Pensacola Sports Association brings together the top senior student-athletes in each sport from Escambia and Santa Rosa schools for a dinner and scholarship recognition program.
This year, 214 seniors were honored May 12 at Olive Baptist Church for the 36th annual Senior Scholar Athlete Banquet presented by Sacred Heart Health System.
Madison Pacheco from Pensacola High School and Steffen Mount from Washington High School won the overall girls and male scholarships, respectively. The Pensacola Sports Association Foundation awarded them each a $3,000 scholarship.

The schools nominate their senior athletes for each sport and submit the paperwork to the PSA.

Those are the individual sport winners. Then they select the overall male and female winners from the individual sport winners.
