CBC Sports Radio’s James Alverson receives the NCHSAA Tim Stevens Media Representative of the Year Award at the organization’s annual meeting on May 7, 2015.
On Thursday, May 7, 2015, the North Carolina High Athletic Association presented awards to several coaches, administrators and media representatives in our state, and CBC Sports Radio Assistant Program Director James Alverson received the Tim Stevens Media Representative of the Year Award.
The NCHSAA presented the awards at its 2015 Annual Meeting at the Dean E. Smith Center on the UNC campus in Chapel Hill. The award selections are based on “those ‘who have done the most for high school athletics’ rather than a single accomplishment or having an outstanding win-loss record.”
Alverson’s award is named for Tim Stevens, long time prep sports editor at the News and Observer in Raleigh. Stevens has been recognized nationally for his work covering high school athletics and is a member of the National High School Sports Hall of Fame.
“James has worked tirelessly on High School Sports for 5 years at our company with specialty radio and web shows, play by play, columns for CBC and much more as one of the premiere insiders in the state of North Carolina,” said CBC Sports Radio Operations Manager/Program Director Dennis Glasgow.
The NCHSAA put together the following profile of Alverson for the ceremony:
