Phillip Hoose Calls for Renaming of Indiana Award

Read Phillip Hoose’s full editorial in the Indianapolis Star on renaming the Trester Award.

“Now, at a moment in our national life when we examine racism more closely than ever, the Trester Award has become our statue of a Confederate general. It should be renamed.

Here’s an idea: How about the Raymond P. Crowe Award for sportsmanship? Ray Crowe, who coached the great Attucks teams of the 1950s, consistently modeled sportsmanship under the most trying of circumstances. Attucks rarely saw a black referee and played all its games on the road.”
