WSAZ's Morehouse is named the WV Sportscaster of the Year, while Charleston Daily Mail's Bogaczyk is the WV Sports Writer of the Year, as voted on by their peers in the National Sportscasters and Sports Writers Association (based in Salisbury, N.C.).

For Keith, it makes the second award, making him a multiple award winner like his father Gene, who won in 1963, 1965 and for 1970, when Gene and 74 other persons died in the MU football plane crash. For Jack, it is unbelievable this is his first honor, after nearly 20 years with the Roanoke Times in Virginia and the past five with the Mail.

Southern West Virginia continues its domination of these awards since 1990:

Seems to me that I should be eligible for the Marshall Sports Medicine Hall of Fame considering all the pharmaceutical I consumed during my time at MU.
