GREENWOOD, Ind. – Washington & Jefferson College student sports information assistant and lead broadcaster Jack Sacco has been named the 2024-25 College Sports Communicators District 2 Fred Stabley Sr. Writing Contest Student Submission College Division award winner, announced by the organization on Wednesday (May 14).
 
The Stabley Writing Contest recognizes the top writing and storytelling content in seven different categories (plus a category for undergraduate student writing entries) from current 2024-25 CSC members.
 
More than 110 articles written by College Sports Communicators members have been honored as district winners in the 2024-25 Fred Stabley Sr. Writing Contest. CSC members in all eight districts submitted nearly 500 articles in seven categories. For the second straight year, the contest was split into University and College divisions, allowing the recognition of the work done by members from smaller offices and those who work on NCAA Division I staffs.
 
The District 2 College Division encapsulates six states including Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia and District of Columbia from NCAA Division II, III, the NAIA, two-year organizations, Canadian organizations and any other organization unaffiliated with these aforementioned divisions.
 
Sacco was named the CSC District 2 Student Submission honoree for his games notes prior to W&J football's NCAA Playoffs game against the Randolph-Macon Yellow Jackets. The game preview featured information on the Presidents' first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2018 after winning the Presidents' Athletic Conference Championship. Sacco implemented notes on the history of the two football juggernauts along with subheadings that detail various facts and information on the Presidents.
 
"This is wonderful recognition for Jack and we are very proud of him," stated Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Athletics Scott McGuinness. "He is a dedicated young man who cares very deeply about the student-athletes and teams at W&J.  Jack is also multi-talented as a broadcaster and a writer.  Most importantly, he is an excellent student and has a very bright future ahead of him no matter what career path he decides upon."
 
Sacco maintained the production of football game notes for the 2024 season, detailing the ebbs and flows of the storied season for W&J. He also was responsible for the implementation of the first game-by-game notes in school history for the W&J baseball team during their 2025 campaign.
 
Sacco is an integral piece in the day-to-day coverage of W&J's 26 athletics programs in the sports information office. He primarily serves as the lead broadcaster on the W&J Sports Network. Sacco also aids in the maintenance and upkeep of W&J Athletics' schedules and record books.
 
The rising senior also was a catalyst in the implementation of the first multi-camera setup for W&J's home broadcasts. The improved camera setup debuted during the 2025 baseball season under the direction of Sacco and the sports information office. The setup featured a home plate and center field camera to grant viewers a dual view of W&J's baseball program. The modernized setup was also picked up by the PAC Sports Network in their production for the PAC Tournament hosted at W&J's Ross Memorial Park.
 
Outside of his work for the sports information office, Sacco generates advanced analytics for the W&J baseball and football programs. The first of its kind for each program grants a deeper look into the analytical side of their team's performance and tendencies that are not typically accessible.
 
"Jack has meant so much to W&J baseball," replied Head Baseball Coach Jeff Mountain.  "His time and efforts toward our program have been immeasurable. Jack has brought so much to our program, and we are all grateful for it"
 
Sacco's game notes advances to the national ballot in competition with all eight districts. The national award winner will be named later this month.
