Longtime Fort Worth Star-Telegram sports writer Charean Williams and Dallas Cowboys radio sideline reporter Kristi Scales have been named recipients of the 2017 Blackie Sherrod Award.
The award, presented by the Dallas Sports Commission, honors North Texans whose storytelling and passion heralded the region’s deep love affair with sports.
Both will be recognized during the NCAA Women’s Basketball Final Four in Dallas. The awards will be presented as part of the NCAA’s Beyond the Baseline: Women in Leadership luncheon to be held at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, March 30, at the Tower Club in Downtown Dallas.
