SOUTHWEST DISTRICT ATHLETIC BOARD ANNOUNCES |
|
|
The members of the Southwest District Athletic Board would like to announce that Mr. Scott Ward and Mr. Jack Kramer are the Southwest’s 2012 recipients of the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s Media Award. This award was initiated by the State office a number of years ago to honor distinguished members of the media. Each athletic District (six in the state) is asked to honor two individuals on an annual basis. Honorees are to have given many years of service in covering high school athletics. Mr. Kramer and Mr. Ward will be guests at a reception held for them on March 10, 2012, at the University of Dayton Arena. Each honoree will be accompanied by his family, friends, and special guests. Following the reception, they will be recognized at the halftime of the 7:00 p.m. Division I District Championship game. The members of the Southwest District Athletic Board take great pride in honoring these two gentlemen. They represent the finest in their profession, and they do wonders for the athletes across our area of the state. Congratulations!
