Nominate a Hall of Fame Member

The Western North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame is accepting applications for FUTURE CLasses

The hall was created in 1978, and includes athletic legends like Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice, Henry Logan,  Bob Waters and Roy Williams. Inductees will be honored at an induction ceremony at the Omni Grove Park Inn.   

Qualifications include:

  •  A native of Western North Carolina who has been outstanding in this or any other region, bringing recognition to themselves or WNC.

  • A non-native of Western North Carolina who has been outstanding through their long standing contributions to sports in this region.

  • All candidates must be inactive in their primary field of participation. This rule may be suspended at the discretion of the board. Candidates who have completed their scholastic or professional careers and are participating in senior or alternate sports careers are eligible for consideration.

  • A candidate upon reaching federal retirement age (65) becomes eligible without regard to the level of current activity within their sport. Thus, an active candidate having attained that age would not need an exception, as required in paragraph three of the qualifications for nomination of the by-laws, to qualify.

A committee accepts nominations to the hall and makes the final decisions on inductees. Nominations should list the nominee's notable achievements in athletics. Please give your name and contact information in case the committee has further questions.
