Milan Indians senior forward Carter Wade was recently voted by local coaches and media to receive Ripley Publishing Company’s 39th Annual William “Tiny” Hunt Memorial Basketball Award. Since 1982, the award is given each year to a senior from either Jac-Cen-Del, Milan, or South Ripley Schools who displayed outstanding offensive and defensive play, leadership, and sportsmanship during the basketball season. It is named after the longtime sports editor of the Osgood Journal, and diehard Ripley County basketball fan, William “Tiny” Hunt.
