Spainhoward accepts his scholarship from a Region 3 official.

The Ronnie Hardin Memorial Scholarship is awarded to a senior from the 3rd Region Basketball Official Association. Griffin had to submit an essay for the award. He spoke about the process for the submission.

"I took some time to sit down and really think about what basketball has meant to me and how it would prepare me for college. I thought that the teamwork skills and hard work aspects of basketball will carry on to my school work over the next few years, as well as prepare me for life."

​Griffin is the son of the Eric and Lesley Spainhoward of Chalybeate.
