Antolini became the 11th recipient of the four-year Scott Robertson Memorial Scholarship, and Noon was given the fifth annual one-year grant, it was announced at a luncheon Tuesday at the Roanoke Country Club.
The two winners were chosen from a field of 12 applicants, said Ed Riley, chairman of the selecting committee.
Riley said the awards are based on academic achievement, character, citizenship and activities associated with golf. The scholarship is available to any high school senior in the Roanoke Valley.
Antolini will receive an $8,000 scholarship - $2,000 per year - toward his education at West Virginia University. The scholarship was boosted from $6,000 to $8,000 this year, Riley said, due to the increasing costs of college.
Antolini, whose grade-point average is 4.11, will graduate as valedictorian of his class. He was a member of the Highlanders' 1993 Group A State champion golf team, the National Honor Society and the Spanish Honor Society. He plans to major in biology at West Virginia and to attend medical school, in hopes of becoming of an orthopedic surgeon.
Noon's $1,000 grant will be used for his education at William and Mary, where he plans to major in history. Noon carried a 3.96 GPA at Northside, where he was a member of the National Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society and was a Rotary International Scholar.
Antolini joins a list of winners that includes John Phillips of Northside, who won the first Robertson in 1984; Lord Botetourt's Stephen Jenkins (1985); Cave Spring's Larry Gwaltney (1986); Glenvar's Gray Roberson (1987); North Cross' Richie Wolf (1988); Patrick Henry's Vickie Linkous (1989); Cave Spring's Rob Wolfe (1990); Glenvar's John Tickle (1991); Patrick Henry's Troy Jamison (1992) and Chad Sartini (Roanoke Catholic).
Noon joins Glenvar's Jamey Watt (1990), Northside's Lewis Conner (1991), Glenvar's Adam Harrell (1992) and William Fleming's Mike Smith (1993) as winners of the $1,000 one-year grant.
