Guardians of Legacy: The Board of Directors 

Edwin "Gene" Young
This group of volunteers solicits nominees, biographical information, assembles a ballot, and elects members to the Hall of Fame.

In addition, the board honors a member of the community with the Hall’s Distinguished Service Award. This award recognizes the meritorious service of individuals who have made a major contribution to the area of athletics in a supportive role. A category to honor a male and a female Scholar/Athlete was added in 1996. Awarded annually by the Hall of Fame, the honor is bestowed upon the students who best exemplify a combination of scholastic achievement, athletic excellence, and community service.
