Description
For 35 years starting in the early 1980s, former WRAL sports anchor Tom Suitor was the host of “Football Friday”. The high school football highlights show was a trailblazing program that continues to grow in reach to this day and set the standard for high school football coverage. For his contributions to high school sports through "Football Friday" and the Extra Effort Award, Suiter was inducted into the N.C. High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame and the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame. A rare accomplishment for media members in the state. The reason he's in can be explained by his commitment to the communities, which he is still passionate about in this conversation with Joe Ovies.
