When former head coach Andy Bacas (pictured at left with Yorktown's gold medal men's 1V from 2009) stepped down in 2012, the board decided the best way to honor his service to the team was to establish a scholarship in his name to help graduating seniors pay for a portion of their first year's college tuition. Today, the board is releasing the application for the 1st annual Andy Bacas scholarships, $500 each for one male and one female athlete currently on the team that are continuing on to college in the fall.
