Nine inductees will join the 300 men and women who have been inducted into the hall since it was established in 1963. Among those selected are Rodney Rogers, a Durham native who was ACC player of the year in 1993 before going on to a 12-year NBA career highlighted by being chosen the NBA’s sixth man of the year in 2000. Also named was Bob Waters, who coached football at Western Carolina from 1969 to 1988 after a brief career in the NFL and A.J. Carr who spent 42 years as a sportswriter, primarily with the Raleigh News & Observer. The 51st North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame class will be formally inducted in May at the North Carolina Museum of History. I’m George Olsen.
