The VWSD Athletic Hall of Fame was started in 2016, and 61 athletes and coaches have been selected since then. Nominations are accepted from the public, and the final list of inductees is selected by a committee.

This year’s group will also be recognized during Friday’s Vicksburg vs. Warren Central football game. The game will begin at 7 p.m. at Vicksburg High’s Memorial Stadium. Tickets are available through GoFan.co.
