On Tuesday morning, the Dothan City Commission approved funding for aluminum plaques to be installed on an outside wall of the stadium with names listed of WSHOF inductees to date. Each 18”x24” plaque will include two classes. The WSHOF will be responsible for funding additional plaques in the years to follow.
For many years, individual plaques of inductees were displayed on the wall of the lobby inside the Dothan Civic Center. However, that space was eventually filled, and the plaques had to be removed during renovations of the first floor. “In serving as a spokesperson for the Wiregrass Sports Hall of Fame selection committee, we are appreciative of the Dothan City Commission for partnering with us on this endeavor to continue recognizing sports heroes of the Wiregrass,” WSHOF president Jon Johnson said.
The 29th Class of the WSHOF will be inducted on Aug. 12 at the Wiregrass Rehabilitation Center in Dothan during a dinner banquet starting at 7 p.m. Those being ushered into the hall will be Floyd Griffin, Brad Baxter, Tony Bowick, Bubba Johnson, Cindy Hawthorne and Steve Helms.
