Wirt County Sports HOF nominees sought

The second class for the Wirt County Sports Hall of Fame will be taking nominations until Friday, June 28.

Six inductees will be included for the 2024 class, but the criteria used for the first class requiring the nominees to be a native Wirt Countian no longer applies.

All 2024 nominees will be on a three-year automatic carryover list before they would need to be renominated to be eligible for voting consideration by the committee.

Anyone wishing to nominate a former player, coach or someone who served the community should send their name, their phone number, the nominees name, phone number and email, the nominees graduation year (note if not Wirt County) and reasons why they should be considered via email to myboonelane@yahoo.com.
