McCann was recognized for his 47 years as a registered official with the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union and upcoming induction into the Iowa Girls Coaches Association Softball Umpires Hall of Fame at this year's state tournament.
Over the course of his career McCann has worked 15 state tournaments and six state championship games as an umpire.
The plaque notes the district's appreciation for his service as an official in numerous sports over the years at Creston events.
