We always knew industry veteran Steve Stallworth was one of the best. We have even more proof after word was announced that he will be inducted on June 14 into the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame.
Even though he won’t admit it, he’s very proud of this honor and his family is very, very proud of him too,” shared an obviously proud daughter, Savannah Stallworth, who serves as manager – marketing and branding of UNLV Sports Properties. “We’re excited to share this great event with him which supports a great cause.”
The 2019 Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame Class includes Stallworth, the Las Vegas Golden Knights, Steve Carp, Hunkie Cooper,
Manny Guerra, and Mike Martin.
Since its founding in 1997, the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame (SNSHOF) has carved out a unique niche within the Las Vegas Community. Conceived by a group of ambitious community leaders including Stallworth, the SNSHOF has set forth a mission to recognize the outstanding achievements by Southern Nevada athletes and community leaders and to provide donations to organizations that enhance our youth through active participation in sports.
With nearly 30 years of experience, Stallworth currently serves as the general manager of the 4,500-seat multi-purpose South Point Arena, Equestrian Center and Priefert Pavilion. The South Point Equestrian Center Complex, which includes two additional arenas as part of the Priefert Pavilion, is widely regarded as the premier equestrian facility in the United States.
A 1987 UNLV graduate in Communication Studies, Stallworth played quarterback for the UNLV Rebels football team from 1982-86. He was named team captain and received the scholar athlete award in 1985 and 1986. During his career at UNLV, Stallworth threw for 3,789 yards and 23 touchdowns.
