MERRILLVILLE’S
JOHN GOSS TO BE HONORED AS OUTSTANDING OFFICIAL
John Goss is the recipient
of the 2008 Interscholastic Athletic Official Association Award for excellence
in the sport of boys basketball.
Goss will be honored in a
special ceremony during Saturday’s boys basketball state finals at
Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. During his career, he has 28
sectionals, 20 regionals, 11 semi-states, and four state finals to his credit
– 1994, 1998, 2002 and 2005. He also has received assignments to work the
football state finals in 1983, 1986, 1990, 1996, 2000 and 2004.
Each year, the Indiana High
School Athletic Association, in cooperation with the National Federation of
Interscholastic Officials Association, recognizes and honors an outstanding
official in each of 11 sports during the school year.
Goss was nominated for this
award by representatives of the Lake County Officials Association, one of the
26 associations located throughout Indiana made up of men and women who give up
much of their personal time to assist in providing wholesome, worthwhile and
healthy activities for the student athletes of our state.
This honor comes as a result
of Goss’ selection by a committee representing those 26
associations. Statewide, there are more than 8,000 officials licensed by
the IHSAA in 11 sports.
A member of the Lake County
and Calumet officials associations, he has served as a board member, program
chairman and assignor.
He is a graduate of St.
Joseph’s College and Lew Wallace High School in Gary. He is retired after
31 years as a sales manager.
John has two grown children,
Eric and Lisa.
