The tenth class of the Logan County Cougars Athletic Boosters Club Hall of Fame will be inducted tonight. The inaugural class, which included five former professional athletes, was inducted in 2015. New members have been added every year but 2021 when the COVID 19 pandemic shut down that and almost everything else.
Richard Holloman has unselfishly and professionally chaired the committee which chooses the new inductees every year with no agenda except to determine and honor those who are most deserving.
