A segment featuring Snider will be broadcast on Sunday, January 3, 2010, during “Dale Hansen’s Sports Special,” which airs on WFAA Channel 8 on Sunday nights following the 10:00 P.M. news.

Snider is the first scholar-athlete honored for 2010.  As part of the recognition, McDonald's will donate $250.00 to Granbury High School.  At the end of 2010, Snider will be invited to a banquet for all winners chosen during the year.
