Our illustrious group excelled in a variety of sports such as baseball, basketball, cross country, football, softball, track and field, and volleyball. Their leadership was prevalent at the Section level, in school, and in national and local community organizations. From the esteemed Rachel Robinson and the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League to Ramona Shelburne, barriers were broken and hearts were lifted with pride and joy. We are proud to gather with all of you to celebrate the memorable moments that each of these individuals shared with us. The LA City Section’s history in athletics dates to 1935 when we became our own Section in California. 86 years of athletic excellence! For many members of our Legacy group, their participation in high school athletics and beyond extends back more than 100 years as part of the “City League.” Their legacies will never be forgotten. These inductees have left an indelible mark with so many schools and local communities as they pursued greatness and strived for excellence. We are very proud of their success and the imprint they left behind for future generations of athletes and coaches to follow. We wish to thank the Hall of Fame Committee members: Commissioner Vicky Lagos, Assistant Commissioner Alexa Berg, Sports Information Director Dick Dornan, Richard Obrand, Trent Cornelius, Dr. Willard Love, Rick Prizant, David Siedelman, and Bud Kling for their outstanding efforts with the selection of all the nominees.
