Four men who served East Bladen High School for many years were honored at halftime of the East Bladen home game with Wallace-Rose Hill Friday night by the East Bladen Booster Club.
The Eagle press box was officially named the Lyn Shaw, Chicky Robbins, Jimbo McLaney Press Box. The media booth next to it was named the Robert G. Hester Media Booth.
Signs were unveiled under the press box and media booth with the men’s names on them. All four were presented with plaques on the field at halftime by East Bladen retired head football Coach Lenon Fisher and Athletic Director Patty Evers.
Shaw served as the Eagles public address announcer for 41 years. McLaney provided 48 years of service as a clock operator. Robbins served for 38 years as a clock and scoreboard operator.
Hester has been covering Elizabethtown Yellow Jacket and East Bladen Cougar and Eagle football on radio for 50 years.
“Their loyal commitment played a tremendous role in the lives of our school and student athletes,” said Coach Evers earlier. “ With grateful appreciation, we honor the sharing of their time and talents with their families and community.”
