Matt Monroe Memorial Scholarship (Athletic – Football) This scholarship was established in memory of Matt who lost his life on September 28, 2005 as a result of an auto accident on his way back to WKU. Matt was involved in Barren County Football since the age of 9 and was so proud to be called a Barren County Trojan. His school spirit could be seen on and off the football field. There were only 4 members of the 20042005 Trojan football team who had played for all four years at BCHS. Matt was proud to say he was one of them. Matt loved life and everyone. He could truly make anyone’s day better by giving one of his smiles or hugs. His love for helping and putting others first can be continued through this scholarship fund that was established.
