CHAPEL HILL– The North Carolina High School Athletic Association presented special awards at its just completed eight regional meetings across the state.
Interim commissioner Que Tucker of the NCHSAA and associate commissioner Rick Strunk, on behalf of the Association, presented both the Charlie Adams Distinguished Service Awards and the Special Person awards to recipients in each region.
The Charlie Adams Distinguished Service Awards are given per region and go to a person with at least 10 years experience in education and athletics who is still active in the field and has regularly gone “above and beyond” the call of duty at both the local and the state level. The Special Person award is similar but may go to a contributor to the NCHSAA who is not directly in coaching or education.
The NCHSAA tabbed our own Neil Blankenship as Region 8 recipient of The Special Person Award, presented this month at the NCHSAA Region 8 meeting.
