Congratulations to Cameron Palmer, the first recipient of the Phil Acton Scholarship Fund. Cameron was a member of the Bolingbrook High School Varsity football team. During his time at “The Brook”, Cameron exemplified what it means to be a Raider on and off the field. This fall Cameron will be attending the University of Central Missouri, where he will be studying nursing. #RaiderPride
PHIL ACTON SCHOLARSHIP
Named after the founder, the Phil Acton Scholarship assists current Bolingbrook Football student-athletes with affording tuition and fees for the upcoming school year, 2019-2020 at an accredited DII, DIII, NAIA or Junior College to continue their education and play football.
Illinois High School Football Hall of Fame Coach Acton was the Raiders Head Football coach from 1978 - 2001.
