Macquarie Scholarship Winner Announced

The USAFL is delighted to announce that James Andrew Lamont (Andrew) of the Golden Gate Roos has been selected for the Macquarie Scholarship.  Congratulations, Andrew, we know you will represent the USAFL well and are sure your time in Australia will be an exciting and demanding one.

We asked Andrew to put down his thoughts on being selected.  Here is his response:

“Finding out that I had been selected for the Macquarie Scholarship was indescribable. For the last 3 years I have been dreaming of getting a chance to go play in Australia and explore the county side. I thought I had a small shot at this scholarship and with the help of my teammates worked as hard as I could to give myself the best shot. When I was told that I had been chosen I was shocked and overjoyed and couldn't wait to tell my friends and family.

Thanks to US Footy and Macquarie for this great opportunity. I am honored to carry on the tradition of excellence to Australia and I can’t wait to have a kick with my new team.”
