In an event sponsored by Reebok, New Mission boys basketball coach Cory McCarthy will be awarded the first annual Bob Hurley Sr. Excellence in Coaching award Thursday in Canton by the famed high school basketball coach himself.

McCarthy led the Titans to the Division 4 state title with a 75-47 win over Cathedral at TD Garden. His team finished 23-1 on the season. McCarthy also coached the New Mission girls basketball to a state championship title in 2007.

The award comes in the mix of coach Hurley being honored with a lifetime achievement award by Reebok. Hurley, the long-time coach of the St. Anthony High School boys basketball team in Jersey City, N.J., will be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame this year. He compiled a 957-106 career record and is only the third high school coach to be inducted into the hall of fame.
