Fox Sports en Espanol and Time Warner Cable Honor Latino Teens

Dreams came true during the first pitch ceremony of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Cleveland Indians game, when Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Luis Maza, announced and presented the winners of the male and female 2008 Latino High School Student Athlete of the Year Scholarship, on behalf of Fox Sports en Español and Time Warner Cable. "We strongly believe in the power of sports to transform and improve lives; which is why we want to further empower outstanding students and congratulate their high-schools by presenting them with these awards,” stated Matt Grim, Director of Affiliate Sales and Marketing for Fox Sports en Español. One male and female recipient were selected out of a pool of hundreds of qualified applicants who excelled in their scholastic, athletic, and community achievements. Andrea Caldas of Hamilton High School, and Jesse Ramirez of Thomas Jefferson High School, accepted the awards during a moving ceremony. Each recipient will receive a $3,000 university scholarship, in addition to separate $2,000 donations from Fox Sports en Español and Time Warner Cable to the athletic departments of each of the winners' high schools to promote athletic development. The celebration continues for these young promising student-athletes after receiving an exclusive invitation from baseball legend and hall-of-famer, Tommy Lasorda. The students will spend an afternoon with him at Dodger stadium plus receive an all-expense-paid trip to Sacramento in the summer, to tour the capitol and meet with members of The California State Legislature. Stephen Pagano, Time Warner Cable West Region President added, "We are thrilled at Time Warner Cable to partner with Fox Sports in recognizing the commitment and efforts of these very talented student athletes. We also congratulate their high schools, who have significantly contributed to building a strong foundation for their future successes. "I am so grateful to Fox Sports en Español and Time Warner for this award, which will help me pursue both my scholastic and athletic dreams at UCLA," voiced scholarship recipient Andrea Caldas. "Receiving this award is not only an honor, but a responsibility, inspiring me to continue serving as a leader in my community. I want to thank Fox Sports en Español and Time Warner Cable for this recognition,” stated Jesse Ramirez.
