Mick Mixon, the play-by-play radio voice of the Carolina Panthers and former color commentator for the UNC Tar Heels, will be the keynote speaker at the annual banquet of the Raleigh Sports Club April 11.

Mixon, who is in his 33rd of announcing, is a fine story teller as well as a musician. He plays drums in two working bands, Franklin Street and Mick & The Ultras.

At the banquet, the Raleigh Sports Club (RSC) will celebrate the achievements of four student athletes and one legendary high school coach.

The RSC Scholarship & Distinguished Coaching Awards Committee selected Coach Todd Worley, who is the varsity boys and girls soccer coach at Sanderson High School, as the winner of the Distinguished Service Award ($1,000).

The winners of the Student Athlete Scholarships ($2,000 each) are football player Blake Williams of Wake Forest Rolesville, swimmer Devon Hathaway of Millbrook, swimmer/runner Emily Bedsole and basketball player Sarena Treish of Athens Drive.
