2019 Scholarship Recipient
Peter Tomhave of Cloquet, Minnesota is a 2019 graduate of Cloquet High School and will be attending college in Maine. Peter says playing soccer has taught him three basic lessons. One, never take anything for granted. Embrace every moment and tackle every day with the same commitment and gusto. Two, winning is not everything. Winning should be a goal, but the best times were when the team “meshed cohesively and everyone got along.” Three, surround yourself with people who care most about you and who you care most about. Being with your teammates on the bus, in a hotel, or on the field for countless practices, you learn a teammate will always have your back. Peter also participated in many other school-sponsored activities and demonstrated strong academics with a 4.2 GPA.
