Jaquez, Pickersgill Win Fred Kemp Memorial Scholarship

Sachem North’s Luis Jaquez and Sachem East’s Jack Pickersgill are the latest recipients of the Fred Kemp Memorial Scholarship.

Kemp’s friends and former Sachem teammates Bob Kohn and Dave Shanahan presented each student-athlete with $1,000, which was raised through several fundraisers.

The honor recognizes student-athletes who are dedicated in the classroom, committed on the field and passionate about growing up in Sachem.

Kemp is a Sachem alum who died in a car accident 31 years ago.

He was a starting defensive back on Sachem’s 1986 Rutgers Trophy and Suffolk County championship team.
