DODSONVILLE — In a pregame ceremony Tuesday evening at Lynchburg-Clay High School before a boys basketball game against the West Union Dragons, Lynchburg-Clay inducted its second Hall of Fame Class, the Class of 2012.
The inductees included supporter of LC athletics Terry McGinnis and former athlete Andy Richmond.
McGinnis was on hand to accept a plaque with six of his grandchildren, and family members of Richmond accepted the plaque on his behalf, as Richmond passed away in 1990.
In 2010, the Inaugural Class consisted of: Jerry Mount, Linda Hatten, Mark Pierson, Paul Cluxton and Whitney Lewis.
Read at the ceremony, a release stated: "In 1967, Andy started three tournament games as a freshman and was instrumental in Lynchburg-Clay winning their first-ever sectional championship. He would go on to start for the varsity Mustangs for the next three years. During those years, he accumulated 1,361 points, which was the school record until 1993 (and is still second-most all-time).
He also grabbed 940 rebounds during his career, which is still the Lynchburg-Clay career record. He set the single-game scoring record with 43 points vs. Eastern on Feb. 13, 1970 (it has since been broken), and he set the school single-game record with 28 rebounds vs. Fayetteville on Nov. 22, 1969 (which still stands).
His career averages were 20.6 points per game and 14.2 rebounds per game. In 1969, he led the Mustangs to the Highland County League Championship, was named to the Seaman Christmas Invitational All-Tournament Team and was named All-Ohio."
As for McGinnis, in the release from LC is stated: "In 1999, Terry’s generosity led to the formation of Hoagie Day. On the third Thursday of every month, Terry donates the money for every hoagie sold to the Lynchburg-Clay Athletic Boosters.
The money raised has been used to furnish the weight room in the field house and purchase warmups for basketball teams and equipment for high school teams. It has also been used for scholarships for Lynchburg-Clay graduates.
Since 1999, Terry McGinnis has given approximately $93,000 to Lynchburg-Clay through Hoagie Day. Overall, he has given over $150,000 to the Lynchburg-Clay Athletic Program. Over the past 33 years, every Lynchburg-Clay Athlete has benefited from Terry’s generosity in some way or another."[[In-content Ad]]
