The Jackson County Sports Hall of Fame is set to 12 new inductees.
The Board of Directors for the Jackson County Sports Hall of Fame has announced the JCSHOF’s Class of 2025.
The new class will be inducted during the JCSHOF’s Induction Banquet Jan. 10, 2026 at the Scottsboro-Goose Pond Civic Center.
The Class of 2025 consists of former Scottsboro basketball player/golfer and former Scottsboro varsity girls golf coach Alicia Bridges Bell, former Scottsboro and University of Alabama track and field athlete Jill Bryant Green, twin brothers and former Scottsboro and Auburn University football players Hamlin and Holley Caldwell, former Pisgah and Auburn University softball player Holly Currie Murdock, former North Sand Mountain and Gadsden State basketball player, former North Jackson varsity boys head basketball coach and current NSM varsity boys basketball head coach Cole Hicks, former Stevenson High School head football coach Kenneth McKinney, former Paint Rock Valley High School, Gadsden State Community College and UNA basketball player Monique Prince, former North Jackson and Jacksonville State football player George Summers and former Scottsboro, University of Alabama and UNA football player the late Glenn Williams.
The JCSHOF’s Contributor Inductees are a father-son team. Jim Grigg and his late father Frank served as the public address announcer at Scottsboro football games for more than 60 years.
“The hall of fame has another outstanding induction class coming. We are excited about honoring and celebrating with this class, their families and friends,” said Greg Bell, the president of the Jackson County Sports Hall of Fame’s Board of Directors.
Nominations for consideration to be elected to the JCSHOF may be submitted anytime, though nominations must be received by June 30 each year to be considered for the JCSHOF’s induction class of that year.
“One thing to remember about the JCSHOF is that board members can only vote on those who have been nominated and not make nominations themselves,” Bell said. “Yes, the nomination process can be time consuming, but it is so rewarding when the process turns into an election. If you have someone that you would like to nominate for future consideration, call me at 256-599-2433. If someone has already been nominated and you have additional information to add to their file, we welcome that information.”
