YourSportsEdge.com was among the recipients of the 2022 Dr. Rudy J. Ellis Distinguished Service Awards handed out by the Kentucky High School Athletic Directors Association at its annual banquet Thursday night in Louisville.
In its fifth year of providing unparalleled high school sports coverage in western Kentucky, YourSportsEdge.com has produced a record number of web visits in the first few months of 2022 thanks to the support of the high schools, coaches, athletic directors, and players we cover.
The award at the state level is the fourth for YourSportsEdge.com since its launch in 2017. YSE has been named the best digital product in the state of Kentucky by the KentuckyBbroadcasters Association in 2019 and 2021. In addition, Scott Brown was recognized by the Kentucky PGA as 2021 media representative of the year for his golf coverage during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Also receiving distinguished service awards were former Covington Holy Cross baseball coach and current golf coach John Hall, Murray-based Varsity Scoreboards, long time Allen County-Scottsville media coordinator and statistician Don Meador, Bourbon County High School statistician and game coordinator Steve Holbrook, and Akridge Farm Supply in Eddyville.
The Dr. Rudy J Ellis Distinguished Service Awards are presented to individuals, groups, or businesses outside the field of athletic administration in recognition of their service and support of high school athletics within their community and beyond. The award is named for the late Dr. Rudy J. Ellis of Louisville who was a pioneer in sports medicine in Louisville and throughout the Commonwealth.
