Three Issaquah School District students – Corbin Powers of Skyline High School, Garrett Hughes of Liberty High School and Justin Vernia of Issaquah High School – have received $1,000 Brock O’Connor Memorial Scholarships.

The scholarships are awarded to graduating senior baseball players from each high school. The recipients must have made a commitment to play baseball at the college level and demonstrated attributes that Brock exhibited during his short life.

The scholarship was established in July of 2000 after Brock passed away at his summer job in an accident at the age of 19. Brock was a 1999 graduate of IHS who played baseball for Issaquah and other local select teams.
