Advocate’s Vaught named to KHSAA hall of fame
Congratulations to Advocate sports editor Larry Vaught, who has been chosen for induction into the Dawahares/KHSAA Hall of Fame.
Vaught is part of the KHSAA hall’s class of 2011, which was announced today and will be inducted in April 2011. He is one of only a handful of members of the media who have been recognized as contributors in the hall, which also honors athletes, coaches and officials.
Vaught has been with the Advocate since 1975 and has been the sports editor since 1996, and although he has gained notoriety for his coverage of University of Kentucky sports in recent years, much of his career has involved covering high school sports in the newspaper’s five-county circulation area.
All of us who work with Larry know how strong his commitment to high school sports has been through the years and how much he deserves this honor, and today we applaud him for being recognized as one of the most significant figures in the history of Kentucky high school sports.
