William N. Gaine, Jr. Sportsmanship Award History

William N. Gaine, Jr. was appointed Assistant Executive Director of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) in October 1979. During his 35-year career with the MIAA, Bill assumed major responsibilities and leadership in the areas of student eligibility and health/safety of the student-athlete through his role as liaison with the MIAA Wellness Advisory and Sports Medicine Committees, the Massachusetts Medical Society and the Department of Public Health. During his time with the Association, Bill held responsibility for all phases of management with most MIAA sponsored sports and most recently with ice hockey, football and baseball. In addition to these duties, sportsmanship is a specific area where Mr. Gaine dedicated his career. Some of his most significant contributions were developed through his role as liaison for the MIAA Sportsmanship Committee. He worked diligently to uphold the ideals of ethics, integrity, fair play and respect in interscholastic athletics. Through his leadership, the MIAA developed numerous policies, programs, resources and methods of recognition that establish a healthy and positive environment for interscholastic athletic competition and promote the importance of respect for self, teammates, coaches, officials, opponents and the game itself. Statewide programmatic initiatives to which Mr. Gaine has been an architect and catalyst include, Coaching Education, Student-Athlete Citizenship clinics and conferences, New England Student Leadership Conferences, along with MIAA Leadership camps for High School Captains and Community Service. In 2012, these initiatives became indentified as the “Pillars” of education based athletics and were organized into the curriculum of Educational Athletics. That same year at Mr. Gaine’s creation and recommendation a state-wide standing committee on educational athletics was approved by the MIAA Board of Directors. Mr. Gaine made many sportsmanship related presentations at the local, state and national levels, including the NFHS Annual Meeting and NIAAA Conference. He established partnerships with organizations such as Northeastern University’s Sport in Society, the Anti-Defamation League, the Partnership at Drugfree.org, and several local professional sports teams. He was also instrumental in the development of the Sportsmanship Alliance of Massachusetts (SAM) and the MIAA Partners in Prevention Program. In honor of his career-long dedication to the promotion of sportsmanship in interscholastic athletics, the MIAA Sportsmanship Committee established an award in Bill Gaine’s name and made a surprise presentation to him as the first award recipient during the 15th Annual MIAA/MSSADA Sportsmanship Summit in 2008. In July 2013, Mr. Gaine was appointed Executive Director of the MIAA and MSSAA. William N. Gaine, Jr. Sportsmanship Award Recipients 2008: William N.

Michael Lynch Sports Anchor WCVB-TV Channel 5

Mike Lynch has been the principal sports anchor at WCVB-TV Channel 5 in Bos- ton since September 1985. He reports Sunday through Thursday on News- Center 5 at 6 and 11 PM. He joined Channel 5 full-time in April 1983 as week- end sports anchor after working part-time for the station for one year. In 1985, Lynch initiated “High Five,” a weekly NewsCenter 5 report highlighting the achievements of high school scholar-athletes. The unique segments have been lauded by critics and received numerous honors for his continuing commitment to coverage of high school athletics. This initiative features either a student athlete that has overcome adversity to be successful or an individual or team that has had one glorious moment. The “High Five” program is celebrating its 30th year of celebrating student athletes, first airing the day of Hurricane Gloria, September 27, 1985. Lynch is also instrumental in the annual production of “High 5 Salutes Thanksgiving He- roes,” WCVB’s live, half-hour wrap-up program of all the traditional high school football rivalries across the Bay State. In 2012, Lynch won the Massachusetts “Sportscaster of the Year” by the National Sportswriters and Sports- casters Association. He has been recognized with this honor 16 times during his career. In 1987, SportsCenter 5 won the United Press International Award for “Best Sports Reporting” in the country. From 1995 through 2008, Lynch hosted the weekly sports program “Patriots All Access,” a behind-the-scenes look at New England’s NFL franchise, and served as a broadcast commentator during Patriots pre-season games. He has also done play-by-play coverage for the Boston Celtics, New England Patriots, and college football. For 11 years, he hosted the Boston College weekly football coach’s show “Eagles Preview“on Chan- nel 5. Prior to coming to WCVB, he was sports director for Boston’s WMRE Radio, formerly WITS, from 1977 to 1983. During this time, Lynch was responsible for the station’s Boston Red Sox and Boston Bruins pre-game shows. In addition, he hosted a weeknight sports talk show and was the radio voice of Harvard University’s football broadcasts. Lynch’s broadcasting career began in 1974 at WLYN Radio in Lynn, where he served as a color commentator for high school football and basketball broadcasts. Lynch grew up in the Boston suburb of Swampscott. He graduated from Harvard in 1977. While in college, he quarterbacked and kicked for the Harvard team that won the 1975 Ivy League Football Championship. He also played first base for the Crimson baseball team.

Ron Burton Community Service Award History

Ron Burton, community philanthropist and former professional football player, passed away in 2003, but his legacy lives on in New England and beyond. He used his football legacy to help deliver his message of hope, determination and optimism, emphasizing that love, strong family values and hard work can overcome any obstacle. Mr. Burton hailed from Springfield, Ohio. At the time he graduated from high school, he was considered the finest football player in the state and had offers from 47 colleges. He chose Northwestern University and went on to become one of the greatest players in school history, eventually being inducted into the National Football Foundation’s College Hall of Fame. He was selected by the Boston Patriots as a first round draft pick in 1960 and played with the team until his retirement in 1966. Throughout his years with the Patriots, and the subsequent years he spent in broadcasting and insurance, community service was a constant thread running through Mr. Burton’s life. He served on many civic boards and charities and was widely recognized for his service and philanthropy. He established the Ron Burton Training Center in Hubbardston, Massachusetts, with the mission to “build within youth from low income communities, racial harmony, leadership, self determination, respect and love for others through a program of spiritual, educational and physical fitness training in a wholesome, caring environment.” In 2003, the MIAA instituted a Community Service Award in Ron Burton’s name and the first recipient was his son, Steve Burton.
