The Butch Hiscox Memorial Scholarship Fund was founded to honor the
memory of a man who taught, coached and inspired so many over the course

selected based on their diligence in the classroom, their participation on the
golf team and other school/community activities, and their ability to answer
"What is the most important thing you have learned from the game of golf?"
