Dekalb County Sports Hall of Fame


DeKalb County Sports

The DeKalb County Sports Hall of Fame was formed to recognize deserving individuals who have excelled in sports or sports-related fields of endeavor. Led by a volunteer board of directors, the Hall of Fame began honoring DeKalb’s standout athletes, coaches, officials, journalists, and other sports figures when it inducted its charter class in 1997. Following the induction ceremony for the Class of 2014, there are now a total of 95 honorees in the Dekalb County Sports Hall of Fame.
