The Cullman County Sports Hall of Fame’s 18th class was officially installed Saturday night during a well-attended banquet at the Civic Center.

Chairman Jackie Satterfield once again provided the laughs to a room packed with exceptional athletes and coaches — both past and present — as one of the area’s most time-honored groups ushered in this year’s selection of honorees.

The 2017 class consisted of Vicki Freeman Akers (Holly Pond), Timothy Brigham (Hanceville), Bryan Cain (Cullman), Wayne Chappell (Cullman), Danny Wayne Davis (Cold Springs), Randy Hasenbein (Vinemont), Hubert H. Heck (West Point), Mark Moore (Fairview), Roger Moore (Good Hope) and G. Barry Willoughby (Cullman).
