Knoxville Hall inducts 10

The Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame grew by 10 Thursday night.

The Hall's annual induction drew a large class and an even larger crowd; some 1400 people attended the banquet.

The inductees were: Bill Bates, Ted Davis, Fred Gladding, Steve Golliher, Jeff Gollier, Gary Lundy, Reggie McKenzie, Raleigh McKenzie, Pat Shires, and Faye Rogers Stafford.

In addition, Tim Mack was honored as the pro athlete of the year, Anthony McAlister and Cade Thompson the male high school athletes of the year, and Erin Ogan was the female high school athlete of the year.

The Hall also had a special recognition for Lady Vols basketball coach Pat Summitt.

Former Notre Dame and South Carolina head coach Lou Holtz was the featured speaker.
