Each week, local high school’s athletic directors, teachers, counselors and/or principals will select one high school athlete to be the Scholar Athlete of the Week. The selected student will be recognized on air during halftime of a Thursday Night Lights game broadcast. All Scholar Athletes selected will have a chance of winning a $5,000 scholarship to the college or university he/she plans to attend.

Pate would have been recognized on the broadcast of this week’s Hendersonville at Station Camp game, which was scheduled to be broadcast on My30 TV. However, due to the delay in school starting in Sumner County, My30 TV was forced to pull its coverage of the game last week.
