SCACA COACHES HALL OF FAME


On December 18, 1992, the Board of Directors of the South Carolina Coaches Association voted to establish the SCACA Coaches Hall of Fame. The first inductees were enshrined in 1993 at the First Annual Awards Banquet. Induction into the SCACA Hall of Fame is an enduring expression of appreciation and gratitude for decades of coaching excellence.
The purpose of the SCACA Coaches Hall of Fame is to try in some way to express to the coaches of South Carolina the appreciation we, the members, have for them and to express our thanks for their many contributions to high school athletics in South Carolina.
