LARRY WHALEY AWARD OF MERIT |
2005 AWARD OF MERIT
The Award of Merit was established to recognize individuals who have made
extraordinary contributions to benefit Logan Elm Athletics. Mr. Larry Whaley
is the recipient for 2005. Larry has retired from DuPont with 29 years of
service. He is currently working as Scheduler for Pickaway Area Rural
Transit. Larry is a member of the Circleville First Church of the Nazarene
and his activities include playing golf, working puzzles and enjoying time
with his wife and daughter. Larry graduated from Westfall High School in
1966. His wife Connie graduated from Logan Elm in 1964 and his daughter
Angela graduated from Logan Elm in 1992.
Larry served three years in the United States Army with a tour of duty in
Vietnam, receiving the Army Commendation Medal. His association with Logan
Elm High School activities began in the 1989-90 school year as Vice
President of the Logan Elm Music Boosters. Larry served as Booster Vice
President for three years. His first involvement with the Logan Elm Athletic
Department began as public address announcer for the football games. He did
that for two years. In the 1991-92 school year, He was asked if he would be
interested in becoming the announcer during basketball games. Little did he
know that after 14 years, he would still be the “Voice of the Braves” and
hopefully he will continue to be for many more years! The past seven
seasons, Larry has served as statistician for the football team. His
services include all of the following: keeping stats during the game,
informing the coach of first half stats during half time, totaling end of
game stats and reporting them to the coach and the media, compiling and
reporting accurate season totals. Larry basically takes care of all the
number crunching for the football team. This is an invaluable service to the
coaches. It is one thing they don’t have to worry about and it allows them
to devote more of their time to the players!
The Logan Elm Athletic Department is very pleased to take this opportunity
to honor Mr. Larry Whaley with this Award of Merit. Please take a moment
after the ceremony to congratulate him for a job extremely WELL DONE!
