“We’re preparing for what we think will be another great evening for our inductees, their families and friends and also our community,” said Kevin Price, Hall of Fame President. “The celebration we are planning for Risley and the school’s alumni and fans will kick off the championship celebrations we plan to have over the next several years for each local high school in a big way.

“We are fortunate to get generous support from our community to help us with the induction banquet. We hope the community will come out and enjoy the night as we honor our inductees and celebrate our Glynn County athletics history.”
