J. Stone Scholarship Raises Over $46,000 for Student-Athletes
“I’m
incredibly humbled by the contributions made to the Lee J. Stone Scholarship,”
said Frances Stone Sechler, Stone’s daughter. “My dad was unbelievably lucky.
He was able to live in a town he loved where he was able to teach and mentor
Asheboro High School students, all of whom he loved. His real passion, of
course, was coaching ‘his boys’ and watching them grow into successful young
men. I believe this wonderful scholarship is Asheboro loving him back,” she
added.
Stone is
the only coach in Asheboro High School history to be inducted into the North
Carolina Sports Hall of Fame as well as the North Carolina High School Sports
Hall of Fame. Additionally, he was inducted into the Asheboro High School
Athletics Hall of Fame in its inaugural year Stone coached at AHS from 1947 to
1965, winning three state championships. In his 29 years of coaching, he never
had a losing season.
The scholarship
will be managed by the Asheboro City Schools Education Foundation, which was
established in 1991 by Superintendent Bob W. Gordon. Once endowed, the
scholarship will be available to both male and female students who have
participated in any of the high school’s NCHSAA-sanctioned sports.Rather than an application process, students will have to be nominated by school staff, faculty, and coaches. In addition to participating in a sport, nominated students will also have to meet four additional criteria:
* Academics: Places in the top 30 percent of class.
* Sportsmanship: Student athlete demonstrates throughout the entire athletic season ethical, appropriate, polite, and fair behavior while participating in a game or athletic event, shows respect for the rules of the game and the other players, is a gracious loser or winner, and promotes fellowship.
* Civic activities: Participates in community service projects or volunteer clubs during their high school career.
* College acceptance: Student must be accepted to a two or four-year college or university.
Members of the Lee J. Stone Scholarship Committee of the ACS Education Foundation include Mark Leggett, class of 1959; Marylin Smith Fowler, class of 1962; Neal Hughes, class of 1964; Don Redding, class of 1955; David Jarrell, class of 1951; Wanda Williams Tatum, class of 1956; Wanda McIntyre McDaniels, class of 1960; and Darrell Moody, class of 1966.
