SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – The three recipients of the Johnny Ritchey Breaking Barriers Scholarship will throw the ceremonial first pitch Friday evening before the San Diego Padres face the Los Angeles Dodgers at Petco Park.
The scholarship was created in 2020 and is awarded annually to a San Diego County high school senior from an underserved area that embodies the characteristics and qualities Ritchey displayed on and off the field, including the capacity to overcome adversity and break barriers academically, athletically or in the community.
Nominations for the scholarship were submitted online with nominees being asked to submit an essay between 1,000-1,500 words describing how they have encountered and overcome personal barriers based on their real-life experiences. Each recipient will receive a $5,000 scholarship towards the continuation of their education.

The somber procession of ashes was led by a new generation of the Black Panther Party movement, a final farewell fit for a Panther from a different era.
In black berets, they raised clenched fists in the air, saluting the velvet-encased urn topped with a matching beret.
Trunnell Levett Price was among the last of San Diego’s original Black Panthers. He was memorialized Saturday not only for the fight he embarked on some 50 years earlier, but for mentoring a crop of young activists who are carrying on the iconic movement’s legacy today.
Price died Jan. 26 at the age of 71 after a long battle with lung disease.
