High school students Matthew Doyle and Brett Robinson both aspire to join the Boston Red Sox someday.
Thursday, they were on the same Corridor Nine Area Chamber of Commerce team.
The chamber presented its 2013 scholastic awards to 21 area high school seniors during its scholastic and champions of education awards breakfast at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Boston-Westborough.
There were 42 applications, scholarship committee Chairman Donna Cox said. This year's awards total $16,000, partially funded by the chamber's annual golf tourney in June, she said.
As Cox introduced the students individually, she noted that for Doyle, an Algonquin Regional High School senior, his "dream job is to become general manager of his beloved Boston Red Sox." And for Robinson, a Westborough High senior, "his dream job is to play center field for the Red Sox," she said.
Scholastic awards were presented to students from Westborough High School, Algonquin Regional High School, the Francis W. Parker Charter Essential School, Worcester Academy, Shrewsbury High School and Assabet Valley Regional Vocational High School.
The honorees were:
- Westborough High School: Rebecca Ackerman, Molly Burke, Jamie Cerny, Joy Cho, Sarah Connors, Anna Johnson, Brett Robinson, David Tubman.
