Scott Gregg, who has worn any number of hats in the Indianapolis area school systems, has been selected as the 2003-2004 recipient of the District II IHSAA Distinguished Media Service Award.

Scott attended South Bend Washington High School and is a graduate of Indiana University, with a Masters Degree in Radio/Television.

He began his teaching career at Carmel High School in 1970 and continued in that position through 1978, before moving into the commercial radio field for two years with WCBK in Martinsville. He rejoined the teaching ranks in 1980 at Ben Davis High School, also taking over as General Manager of the school’s radio outlet, WBDG. He then returned to Carmel in 1982, where he was the Department Chairman and manager of the school radio station, WHJE, as well as the school’s cable television facilities, until his retirement in 2003.

He has also been active on the coaching sidelines, serving as an assistant in girls basketball, girls swimming and boys swimming.

He has retained his position as Sports Information Director for the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference, where he compiles weekly conference statistics, composes a weekly newsletter, publishes conference, individual and team achievements, serves as a liaison to media for conference tournaments and compiles and publishes the conference yearbook and record book.

Over the years, Scott has also served as the public address announcer for many IHSAA events, including football, volleyball, track & field, basketball and softball.

He is a former board member of the Indiana Broadcasters Association, where he helped initiate high school scholarship programs for graduating seniors entering a broadcast curriculum at Indiana colleges. He is also an Associate Member of the NIAAA, a member of COSIDA and the Indiana Chapter of the Broadcast Pioneers.

Scott will be honored on Friday, February 6, 2004 in a special ceremony at half-time of the Carmel vs. Lawrence North boys’ basketball game, to be played at Carmel High School. Mr. Blake Ress, IHSAA Commissioner, will be on hand for the presentation.

On behalf of its 396 member schools, the Indiana High School Athletic Association is pleased to salute Scott Gregg and recognize his dedicated service to high school athletics in the state of Indiana by presenting him with the District II 2003-2004 Distinguished Media Service Award.
