The Knoxville High School Hall of Fame inductions will take place on December 16th. A little earlier on the calendar due to the fact that there are no Friday home games in January. There will be a luncheon that day at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame where the public can hear from the inductees, and they will also be honored in between the basketball games against Centerville that night. Hall of Fame Committee Member Joe Cunningham tells KNIA/KRLS Sports they always want to do this first class in honoring past Knoxville athletes.

Cunningham: “Our goal has been to be very honoring. We want this to be first class and we hope to inspire the younger Panther athletes, and try to pull out all the stops to make it special.”

Tickets can be purchased for $20 at Cunningham Financial Services in Knoxville or call 828-6173. This year’s class includes Kaylee Modlin O’Connor, Brian Brooks, Greg Dye, and Perry Bell.
