Central Michigan football head coach John Bonamego made a special delivery Saturday evening to Chippewas senior marching band member Alex Markarian with a $1,000 dollar scholarship.

“I honestly had no idea,” said Markarian, a Clarkston native and four-year CMU marching band member. “It’s always great to meet Coach Bonamego and to shake his hand.
