“There have been a lot of people over the years who have helped to make the MSGA Scholarship Fund what it is today — one of the largest scholarships given to Maine students by a non-profit organization,” Nancy Storey, MSGA’s executive director, said in a news release.

Flynn, who played on the golf team at Presque Isle High School for four years, was the Wildcats’ No. 1 golfer each of the past two seasons and qualified for the individual state tournament both times.

He is the son of Rob and Jennifer Flynn of Presque Isle.
