Casseri was tragically killed in an automobile accident on his way home from his girlfriend's house after a basketball game in which his team stunned and upset a close rival school. Michael's parents have established an athletic scholarship in his name and they are looking for support from the community and all others who might want to help. There are few major scholarships available in this area, and we would like to make this one available for years to come for deserving student athletes. This scholarship is a $4,000 scholarship to the annual recipient, dispersed $1,000 per year for four years. If you, your friends, family, work place, or organization would like to help, you can send any donations to the address listed on the bottom of the page or in the "Contact Info" section of this web site.

Michael also finished top at the prestigious Taco Bell Relays in Columbia, South Carolina in 2002. As a sophomore, Mike had thrown over 150 feet on several occasions with a very inexpensive wooden discus. In the fall of 2002, his father, the throwing coach for the Track Team in Michael's freshman year, bought him a new 80% rim weight discus. During the 2002, football season and the first part of his basketball season, Michael was already throwing it well over 160 feet without any serious training. Michael's top 3 choices of colleges he would have liked to attend were: the Naval Academy, West Point, and William & Mary. Coupled with his strong academic performance, his athletic strengths would definitely have opened the doors to all three of these prestigious institutions.
