Welcome to the club.
The Cullman County Sports Hall of Fame’s 17th class was officially installed Saturday night during a heavily attended banquet at the Civic Center. Chairman Jackie Satterfield once again provided the laughs to a room littered with athletes and coaches — both past and present — as one of the area’s most time-honored groups ushered in another deserving selection of the county’s best.
The 2016 class consisted of Del Brock, Ken Gunter and Todd Hermetz (Cullman); Cindy Barksdale Mallard and Bobby Meyer (Hanceville); Charlie Rogers (Cold Springs); Greg Boatright (Fairview); Dillard Quick Jr. (Good Hope); Bill Oliver (Holly Pond); Mike Grantham (Vinemont); Roy Johnson (West Point); and Jayne Clem (At Large).
