Scott Bradley was a Lake Park student and wrestler whose connection with our school began many years

before, when he wrestled with the Lancer Kids Club as a young child. Scott was a gentleman who

displayed sportsmanship, loyalty, and dedication to the Lake Park wrestling program. He constantly

strived for excellence through hard work on the mat and in the classroom.

Unfortunately, Scott’s wrestling career ended suddenly during his junior year when he was diagnosed

with leukemia. For six months, Scott battled his illness with the same determination that he battled his

opponents on the mat. On May 5, 1986, the Lake Park community suffered a great loss. The following

year his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Olav Bradley, established the Scott Bradley Memorial Scholarship as a

loving tribute to their son. In his memory, his family wishes to award one $1,500 scholarship to a

deserving Lake Park High School student. The student athlete considered for this award must display

similar characteristics to Scott: loyalty, commitment, dedication, and a strong work ethic.

To be eligible for the Scott Bradley Memorial Scholarship, the applicant must:


be a member of the Lake Park High School wrestling team who has shown passion and a commitment to the program while displaying leadership, sportsmanship, dedication, and a strong work ethic.
