Senior Earns Drew Medford Scholarship

Hudson Holm ’25 is FWCD’s Drew Medford Memorial Tournament (DMMT) Scholarship. He was honored with a $1,000 scholarship. The DMMT, which took place March 6-8, is a three-day scholarship baseball tournament that was established in 2017 in memory of the former Paschal High School pitcher and TCU signee who was tragically killed in a car accident following his senior year of high school.

“Hudson's value to our program can be summed up by this award,” said Baseball Program Director and Head Coach Michael Settle ’99. “He is a humble leader who has been all-in on FWCD baseball since he first stepped on the field in seventh grade. While Hudson has had a great career for us to this point, his impact on our program is deeper than just his on-field performance. We're blessed to have some great humans around us, and Hudson is at the top of that list.”

The DMMT is one of Texas’s most prestigious tournaments, drawing top-flight programs from the Fort Worth area. The 2025 event marks the DMMT’s first year as a 29-team tournament after beginning as a six-team event and later expanding to 24 programs. This year, over 50 games were played across eight area sites from Thursday, March 6-Saturday, March 8. 

The Drew Medford Memorial Tournament sets itself apart by awarding a scholarship to a senior player from each team participating in the tournament. The DMMT has raised more than $189,000 for local baseball players. Scholarship recipients are chosen by each participating team’s coach, and the player must embody the characteristics of the tournament’s namesake: drive to succeed, humility, empathy for others, and team leadership.
