Click here to read a poem about Scott written by one of his
friends from Boone County High School.
A coach once said, “Scott is not a
follower—he is a Trailblazer and others will follow him.”
Scott started playing soccer at the
age of five for the St. Paul Panthers recreational soccer
team. He stayed with the Panthers until the age of nine when
he made the Northern Kentucky Cobras select B-level team.
At the time of his death, Scott still
played for the Cobras but on the A-level team. He also
played for a traveling team, played indoor soccer in
Cincinnati and traveled to Holland as a U.S. Youth Soccer
All-Star Team Ambassador. While in Holland, Scott's team
played ten matches with Scott scoring eighteen goals.

A starting varsity player for the
Boone County High School Rebels soccer team, Scott was their
leading scorer at the time of his death. He also was the
second highest scorer in the region and a member of the
Kentucky Olympic Development Team.
Scott's love of life was manifested
through his dedication to his family, academics and the
sport of soccer. His dream of becoming a professional soccer
player was a message of commitment, accomplishment and
dedication that would inspire many.
To Scott, winning was a process of
continual personal development. His team was his family as
his family was part of his team. These attitudes prepared
him for selection on the Kentucky Olympic Development team,
the Midwest Soccer Academy All-Star Team, which toured
Holland.
Scott was proud of his talent and
ability to play the sport of soccer, and he gave God the
credit. He loved his school, his family, his community, his
friends, and most of all he loved life.
Scott’s favorite pastime was watching
soccer matches, which he did at every chance, practicing in
the backyard to better himself. His goal was to become a
professional soccer player either in the United States or
abroad.
Scott’s tragic death robbed the
community of a young, talented and loved team member.
