A committee, composed of graduates of Fillmore High School, and headed by Joe Woods, class of 1979, is developing a Sports Hall of Fame to recognize and award the outstanding athletes, coaches and teams that have been a part of Fillmore High for the past 100 years.  The intent is to recognize those indivduals who were active in high school athletics, as well as those who continued their athletic accomplishments in college or university and in amateur competitions, and in some cases, into the professional ranks.  Also to be recognized will be the outstanding teams of this era and the coaches who were responsible for the successes of these athletes.

     The committee has developed a criteria for selecting the top athletes and letters will be sent out to those athletes, or to their families, if that person is deceased, asking them to fill out an application describing their athletic accomplishments during high school, college, amateur and professional sports.  These applications will then be scored by the committee and the inductees into the first class of the Fillmore High Sports Hall of Fame will be determined.  This first class will be rather large as athletes from the past 100 years of Fillmore High sports history will be selected.  An awards presentation ceremony will be held some time in the fall.

     If anyone knows of an individual or individuals who should be considered for one of these awards, please contact Joe Woods at Fillmore High School, P. O. Box 697, Fillmore, CA 93016-0697 or at lcole@fillmore.k12.ca.us [1].  We have a very extensive list already, but let us know of your concerns as we don't want to miss any deserving individuals.
