College sports: PC seeks Hall of Fame nominees

Peninsula College is reaching out to the community to nominate teams, athletes and other individuals for consideration for the 2018 Athletic Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

The Pirate Athletic Program created a hall of fame in 2014 and so far has inducted two teams and eight individuals. The 2014 ceremony opened the Pirate Hall of Fame with the 1970 Pirate men’s basketball team, Jerry Allen, Kathy Murphy-Carey, and the late Art Feiro and Dr. Wally Sigmar. The 2016 Hall of Fame Induction event celebrated the 2010 Pirate men’s soccer team, as well as Rose Moorhead, Scooter Chapman, Jim Clem and the late Jim Lunt.

Peninsula’s Athletic Hall of Fame Committee will meet in early November to determine the 2018 inductees, who will be announced at the annual Pirate Casino Night in February and officially inducted at a ceremony in June.

Deadline for submissions is Oct. 31. An electronic form and criteria is available via the college’s athletic website (www.gopcpirates.com) under “Hall of Fame.” Nominations are welcome from community members, students and employees.
