Vancleave Athletic Hall of Fame Inaugural Induction Banquet

The Vancleave community gathered Saturday evening to recognize community athletes across many generations.

Members of the Inaugural Vancleave Athletic Hall of Fame were formally inducted at a banquet at Vancleave High School.

Attendees viewed mementos and pictures of the athletic legends, coaches, and teams selected from Vancleave and Elizabeth Keys High Schools from the 1930s to the present day.

Selection Committee President Allen Williams says the induction brings the accomplishments of past Vancleave athletes and teams back in the spotlight. “These athletes represent a legacy that, you know, we see a lot of success in our current Vancleave High students, but we wanted to make sure that they recognize the shoulders on which they’re standing today.”

New coaches, athletes, and teams will be inducted into the Hall of Fame yearly moving forward.
