The Madison County area's top high school athletes were on hand Tuesday night at the Paramount Theatre in downtown Anderson for the fifth annual The Herald Bulletin (THB) Sports Awards. It was the first time in three years that the program was held in person.
Among the award recipients were three Anderson High School Seniors:
