Each year, Arlington Heights and Paschal High School host a spring preseason baseball tournament. This March, to honor the memory of Drew Medford, the tournament is being renamed The Drew Medford Memorial Tournament. This tournament is unique in that a scholarship will be awarded to a senior player from each team participating in the tournament. Your support will help to fund these scholarships. Drew graduated in June, 2016 from Paschal. He was a member of the Cats organization from 13u to 18u, and had signed to play baseball at TCU. Drew was a few days from beginning his college career when he died in an automobile accident on August 18, 2016. In recognition of Drew's passion and dedication to the game, but more importantly, his care for fellow baseball players, Drew's family and friends have established a scholarship fund in his name. Each year, senior players participating in the tournament will have an opportunity to be awarded a scholarship to be used to further their education. Our goal is to increase the number of teams participating each year, and to increase the value of the scholarship as well. As these numbers grow, so will the appeal of playing in this invitational tournament. We hope to attract teams from all around the region, and country, in years to come. Your support will help fund scholarships for the tournament.
