TOWSON, MD. – Dulaney High School senior Sarah Dorl and Towson High School senior James Frieson will receive $36,000 each as the 70th and 71st recipients of the Charles Perry McCormick Scholarship, sponsored by McCormick & Company, Inc.
Dorl and Frieson were chosen as McCormick’s 2013 “Unsung Heroes” from among 115 candidates at 73 public, private, parochial and independent schools in the Baltimore area. The scholarship is awarded annually to senior athletes who play unselfishly and contribute to the success of their teams without acclaim.
Dorl is a guard on the Dulaney High School varsity basketball team. A leader both on and off the court, she spends time helping younger players after practice and motivates her teammates by working hard on the court. Her coach Jessica Szymanski said, “[Sarah’s] intensity provides encouragement for her teammates to raise their level of play.” Dorl has been on the honor roll since her freshman year of high school.
A football player for Towson High School, Frieson’s dedication and positive attitude make him a role model for his peers. He motivates players to stay in shape during the off season and mentors a younger teammate in his position. According to his coach Chad Knippenberg, “James never quits at anything. I have witnessed James put in a full day of school, contribute to his fullest potential at practice, and then change into his work clothes and hop the bus to work at Burger King until 10 p.m. Through it all, James’ performance, attitude and demeanor have not wavered.”
The scholarships were announced at a Monday, May 6, 2013 ceremony attended by more than 700 Baltimore area officials, school administrators, coaches and family members. The awards hold a four-year value of $36,000 for each student.
