The Providence Journal's Joe McDonald has been named Rhode Island Sports Writer of the Year for the second time by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association. The announcement was made today by the NSSA, which names a sports writer and sportscaster of the year for each of the 50 states. Steve Hyder, play-by-play announcer for the Pawtucket Red Sox, was named Rhode Island Sportscaster of the Year. McDonald also won the award in 2004. Other Providence Journal winners currently on staff include Bill Reynolds, Sean McAdam and Carolyn Thornton. Jim Nantz of CBS Sports and Bob Ryan of The Boston Globe were the national winners. All the award winners will be honored at a dinner at association headquarters in Salisbury, N.C., on May 3-5. See a list of McDonald's most recent stories here.
