We are proud to present the Blake Mahoney scholarship fund.
Blake, literally grew up at Sewell Park with East Marietta National Little League. A “next generation” baseball player, following in his brother’s footsteps, Blake began his own baseball career playing T-ball at aged 4.
On April 19, 2020, we were all devastated to hear that Blake, aged 11, died in an accident. Blake’s absence has created a void that will never be filled. It was very noticeable when his teammates played their first intermediate season without Blake this past fall.
Blake was a baseball player. You could tell in how he carried himself. Blake came by baseball naturally, and he had great technique. He knew where the play should be, a credit to his baseball acumen, acquired no doubt from watching his brother play countless baseball games. He was a student of the game, and while in the dugout, he was either hanging on the fence or sitting on the baseball bucket, soaking in the game.
The Mahoney family established a scholarship in Blake’s name, to be awarded to players at East Marietta National Little League. This scholarship will financially help an inspiring baseball player - to continue in Blake’s spirit, for the love of the game. We plan to award scholarships during the fall & spring seasons in Blake’s name. Please complete the application and submit all paperwork to be considered.
