ASSOCIATION
SPOTLIGHT: BLACK HISTORY MONTH
During the
month of February, in honor of Black History Month, the NCHSAA website will
feature information about African-Americans who have made major contributions
to the great tradition of high school sports in our state. We hope you find
these both entertaining and informative.
RUSSELL
BLUNT Russ
Blunt's coaching career included four sports and an amazing six decades, but
this 1936 graduate of St. Augustine's College really made his mark in track. He
built a dynasty at Hillside High School in Durham, winning 10 state
championships in the old North Carolina High School Athletic Conference
(NCHSAC) and then winning or sharing several state titles in NCHSAA competition
in indoor and outdoor track. During
one 12-year period his high school track teams lost only two dual meets and at
one point he was acknowledged by USA Today as the oldest active high
school coach in the country. As a head football coach, Blunt
guided his teams to five conference championships. His stops for high school
coaching included Hillside and Southern Durham, and collegiately he coached at
St. Augustine's, St. Paul's, North Carolina College (now North Carolina
Central), Florida Memorial and Southern University. Russ was inducted into the
North Carolina High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame in 1989 and was
the second North Carolinian to join the National High School Hall of Fame six
years later.
