The Hopewell Valley CHS Athletic Hall of Fame Committee has tabulated the ballots of the Selection Committee and has announced the 2006 Class of Inductees.
After accepting nominations from the community, the nominating committee formed a ballot with names of outstanding Hopewell Valley athletes, coaches, teams and special contributors. This ballot and biographies of all the candidates was then sent out to over 45 members of the selection committee, comprised of community members, coaches, teachers and former students who then voted on athletes deserving recognition in the Hall of Fame.

Veteran’s Pre-1973, Merritt McAlinden, 1941, and John Gilbert, 1968.
