Tony Blaisure admits he is a competitive person. He was that way when he played basketball and baseball at Elk Lake High School and when he played basketball at Lackawanna College.
But when his playing days stopped, he needed something to stoke his competitive fire.
Coaching and officiating do that.
For more than 40 years, Blaisure has been on the sidelines at Elk Lake as a coach and administrator. He also has been on the field officiating high school and collegiate games.
That longevity and dedication makes Blaisure the 54th recipient of the Joseph M. Butler Memorial Award. It was presented to him Thursday night at the 76th annual Times-Tribune Athlete of the Week Awards Ceremony at Lackawanna College's Peoples Security Bank Theatre.
