The Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame has announced its latest induction class. The group of nine includes two football players, two football coaches, one football administrator, two basketball players, one tennis player, and one bull rider. Eight of the inductees are male, and one female.
I'm sad to say that our canoe and kayak racing friend Mike Herbert did not make the cut. Neither did any of the other people I voted for on my ballot.
Nevertheless, I thank everybody who took the trouble to buy an ASHOF membership and vote on Mike's behalf. Just getting Mike's name on the ballot took close to a decade of effort, and I hope there will be opportunities to try again in the future.
