The Springfield Sports Commission has teamed up with television station KY-3 to present the 1 Awards on July 30 at the Ramada Oasis Inn and Convention Center.
Four area athletes in each of 19 sports categories will be nominated based on a combination of honors, statistics, team success, individual performance and citizenship. They’ll be notified of their selection in June.
Lance Kettering, executive director of the Springfield Sports Commission, says the 1 Awards will be a great event for our area…
"And in the opportunity to recognize those outstanding athletic accomplishments that happen at the high school ranks. This will be an event, though, that the fans actually will have a say in who wins the award, so it'll be interactive, it'll be fun for the public to get involved and look at who's been nominated and pick their favorite," he said.
Fans will be able to vote for their choice once each day from June 3rdthrough July 22ndat ozarkssportszone.com.
