Scott Founder & Sons Honored by Lower Merion H.S.

On Friday September 25, the founder of the Scott dealerships, Raymond P. Scott Sr., and his three oldest sons were honored by Lower Merion High School for their contributions to the school's athletic program, both on and off the field.

Craig C. Scott Sr. and Warren B. Scott Sr., were on hand to receive their "Outstanding Athletic Achievement Awards" at halftime of the high school football match up between Lower Merion and Harriton.  Their oldest brother Raymond P. Scott Jr. was also given the honor, for his athletic accomplishments as a Lower Merion Ace.

As the President of the of the Lower Merion School District Board of Education (School Board) from 1950-1951 and  Director on the School Board from 1952-1955, Raymond P. Scott Sr., always oversaw the athletic program with great care according to his sons.

"It was nice, after all these years to recognize my Dad for his service to the  Lower Merion School District and in particular his interest and support for the athletic programs in the school district," says Craig, President of Scott Honda.  "He encouraged all his boys to participate in athletics and I was proud that I played a small part participating on some very outstanding teams."

Craig and Warren had over 15 family members in attendance to cheering them on during the ceremony, some coming from as far as Florida for the event.

Scott Honda Technician, John Cross had such a great time playing roller hockey with his 7-year-old son last winter, he decided to form a team of his own, despite having no real hockey experience.

Cross recruited fellow technicians, Dave Brown, Dane Hopwood and Tim Andrzejewski, and eventually found more team members from the Service, Parts and Sales Departments to fill out the 11 person roster.

"I like spending time with my friends outside of work in a fun, competitive environment," Cross says.  "As a team, we're actually building better relationships with each other, which will benefit us on the job as well."

The "Lock 'n Roll" team, who play in the Summer Inline D Division at the United Sports Training Center in Downingtown, use the famous Scott Sailboat as their logo and have rolled to a record of 1 and 5 so far, but that record hasn't dampened their spirits.

"We're not the best team in the league, but considering we're brand new, we are doing very well and improving every week," says the team's second leading points scorer, Stephanie Bahnatka.  "We're having fun and staying fit and that's what matters most."
