CHAPEL HILL -- Seven more outstanding individuals in the annals of state prep athletics have been selected for induction into the N.C. High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame.

The late Jack Holley of Teachey, Ralph Holloway of Morehead City, the late Joe Miller of Wilmington, Chris Norman of Shelby, Moyer Smith of Chapel Hill, Rick Strunk of Carrboro and Jerry Winterton of Cary have been named as the 28th group of inductees to join the prestigious hall.

That brings to 163 the number enshrined.

The new inductees will be honored during special halftime ceremonies of the North Carolina-Georgia Tech football game Oct. 18 at Kenan Stadium. The University of North Carolina has designated the day as the 30th annual NCHSAA Day. The new class will officially be inducted at the special Hall of Fame banquet next spring in Chapel Hill.

"These individuals joining the Association Hall of Fame this year have had a tremendous impact on high school athletics across North Carolina," said NCHSAA commissioner Davis Whitfield. "Their accomplishments are impressive, but the character they exemplify and the lives they touched are truly representative of what the NCHSAA stands for. Their selection maintains the standards of excellence established by our previous inductees, and we are proud to honor these deserving individuals."

The NCHSAA Hall of Fame is supported in part by a special grant from GlaxoSmithKline.
