Is Doc in yet?
Yes. Several years ago was voted in under the Meritorious Service division. Same division as Doug and Dan got voted in last year.
Sammy Carter
The originator of the Jackson Parish Dixie youth. I was with him the day he went to people to get it started. No one thought it would go, but look at it now. From a few teams to a dynasty. Thanks to all those helped. He deserves to be in this HOF. No one more dedicated to the youth of Jackson Parish.
