The Mission

In continuing the Drew Medford Memorial Tournament’s mission, one player from each team will receive a $1,000 college scholarship.

Through the generosity of its sponsors and community supporters, the Drew Medford Memorial Tournament (DMMT) has awarded $247,000 to local baseball players over its first 10 years. This is the eighth consecutive year that the tournament is awarding at least 20 scholarships. Scholarship recipients are chosen by each participating team, and the player must embody the characteristics of the tournament’s namesake: drive to succeed, humility and empathy for others, and a leader on his baseball team.

All scholarship recipients will be honored prior to the final game of the tournament between Fort Worth rivals Arlington Heights and Paschal. This year’s game between the Yellow Jackets and Panthers will take place at Paschal at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 13. The scholarship ceremony will be held on the field at 6:30 p.m.

The DMMT will officially kick off Wednesday, March 10, with a 6 p.m. welcome dinner at Paschal High School.

The 11th Annual DMMT will feature 27 prep baseball teams playing a total of 66 games from Thursday, March 11 through Saturday, March 13, at seven area high schools.
