JSU Hall inductions Friday

Jacksonville State will induct its newest class into the JSU Athletic Hall of Fame Friday night at 6:30 p.m. in the Gamecock Center.

The inductees for the Class of 2009 are basketball player Gary Angel, two-time All-American offensive lineman Joe Billingsley, softball's all-time strikeout leader Ann Shelton Welsh and basketball's all-time leading scorer Robert Lee Sanders.

Angel became just the fourth player in Jacksonville State basketball history to score 1,000 points (1,193). Billingsley was an All-American in 1986 and 1988. Sanders scored 1,983 points in his JSU career. Shelton struck out 635 in her two-year JSU career in 418 innings.

In addition to the inductees, Bob and Lou Kennamer and Miriam and James B. Haywood will be presented with the Jimmy Bryan Award for their contributions and years of dedication to JSU athletics.
