Last

February, Fayette County High School launched their

Sports Hall of Fame. It gave current Tigers and Tiger

alumnus a chance to recognize athletes that have excelled

both on the field and off. One of last year's inductees

included Cecil Travis, a baseball player who went on to a

major league career with the Washington Senators. The

ceremony was a well attended, catered affair in the

Fayette County cafeteria. But this year, they would like

your help.

"We

have some ideas for this year's inductees," said

Principal Gary Phillips, "But we would like some

input from people who have lived in this county and

attended Fayette County High School. It is important to

see who they remember making an impact on the field and

in the community."

Principal

Phillips has been in the area off and on for the last 30

years, so he is looking for people that were here from

the school's inception on. The other main organizer of

the Hall of fame is Trigg Dalrymple, who also has several

ideas of possible inductees. The school is also getting

write-ins from the Booster Club.

The Booster

Club is also in the process of forming an alumni

association at the school. They are hoping to have their

inaugural banquet this year and induct two outstanding

alumni that have distinguished themselves in a career and

in their community.

If you know

of a person who should be nominated for the Sports Hall

of Fame, Principal Phillips would like to hear from you.
