Steve Carp covered his first basketball game at Manhattan College in 1975 as a writer for the student paper. More than three decades and countless awards while chronicling the game later, he has reached a pinnacle of his profession.
Carp, who has been with the Review-Journal for 17 years, has been named to the United States Basketball Writers Association Hall of Fame.
He will be enshrined at the Final Four in Glendale, Arizona, in April, part of one of the most decorated classes in USBWA history.
Review-Journal sports columnist Ed Graney, president of the USBWA, will host the awards luncheon.
