All good things come to those who wait. The old adage is apropo to the event that is to take place this Saturday evening at the Jonesboro-Hodge High School Gymnasium when the Jackson Parish Sports Hall of Fame inducts the Class of 2021. 

After being forced to reschedule from the earlier date established this fall due to COVID Contact restrictions, the festivities will begin with a “greet and meet” of the inductees and boy and girl “Athlete of the Year” representatives from JHHS, Quitman and Weston High Schools at 5:00pm followed by the induction ceremony at 6:00pm.

Being inducted into the prestigious circle of Jackson Parish sports greats is Bob Garrett, Floyd Miles, Phil Cockerham, Tyjuan Hayes, Wayne Alford, Tommy Logan, Clyde Berry, Doug Ireland and Dan McDonald. Representing each school will be Xabrianna Jackson and Devontae Mozee of Jonesboro-Hodge, Joshua Smith and Clara Womack of Quitman High and Jace Holt and Mallory Tolar from Weston High.
