The tennis teams of 1986 through 1989 will also be honored, as well as the members of the Vandal boys basketball teams of 1981 and 1983.
Three coaches will be inducted. Memorial inductions will be for coach Vera Jackson, who was one of the founders of the Girls Athletic Association in 1948, and Dorothy Paddock will be honored for her work with the Vandal archery teams. Basketball Coach Henry Reyna will be inducted and will be at the event.
The Miami Hall of Fame event begins Saturday at 10:am with a meet and greet at the Miami Library. Lunch will be served at noon in the Miami High School Cafeteria. The induction ceremony will take place at 1:pm in the Miami High School auditorium, followed by an ice cream social. The public is invited to attend.
