The First Baptist Athletic Department is proud to announce the establishment of the First Baptist Athletic Hall of Fame.  The inaugural class was enshrined in January 2020.  The First Baptist Athletic Hall of Fame committee has been working on establishing criteria for this prestigious honor and has created qualifications to place the best of First Baptist Athletics in their rightful place.

 

Nominations began February 1, 2019, and closed September 30, 2019.  All nominees were discussed and voted on by the committee. All inducted members had to receive a unanimous vote by the committee.  The inaugural ceremony inducted a max of 20 members, and will have a max of 10 members for every ceremony thereafter. The First Baptist Athletic Hall of Fame will have a permanent home with plaques located in the lobby of the gymnasium.
