Coweta County

honored its sports legends last week as 15 residents were inducted into

the newly created Coweta Sports Hall of Fame.

More than 400

residents packed the Coweta County Fairgrounds and Conference Center to

hear the exploits of some of Coweta's greatest sports legends.

Two of the

inductees were raised in Senoia.

John Wallace

Adcock earned his credentials as a player on the University of Alabama

basketball team and basketball coach in Alabama.

During his

playing days, he averaged 10 points a game for the Crimson Tide.

He was a head

basketball coach and an assistant football coach at walter Wellborn High

School in Anniston, Ala. and won over 400 games in his coaching career.

Marvin Webster

Duke was born in Brooks, but attended school in Senoia.

After attending

Georgia Tech, he was signed by the Atlanta Crackers, who later traded

him to the Yankee organization.

Duke was a

solid prospect for the Yankees and led their Erie, Pa., farm team in wins

with 23 in 1929.

He pitched

several years in the organization, but never made it to the majors, because

of the depth of the Yankee squad.
