Nevada Press Association The best in Nevada journalism since 1924
A longtime sports writer and editor known for his meticulous coverage of athletic events in two states for nearly a half century has been selected for induction into this year’s Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association/One Nevada Credit Union’s Hall of Fame as a media contributor.
Dave Price, who retired in 2018, spent 47 years walking the sidelines or watching hundreds of athletic events while working for three Nevada newspapers — The Record Courier, Nevada Appeal and the Lahontan Valley News.
He began his career as a sports stringer in 1971 at the Tahoe Daily Tribune and became a part-time reporter in 1972. In 1974, the TDT tabbed Price as the newspaper’s sports editor, a position he held for six years. Price also covered sports for The Union in Grass Valley, Calif.
Price was named the Nevada Press Association’s outstanding journalist for community papers in 2018.
