COLUMBIA, S.C. (May 17, 2022) — For the first time ever the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony & Banquet will be streamed live over the internet at www.facebook.com/scahof.
The event, set for Monday, May 23 at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center, is once again a sellout with more than 900 individuals slated to attend. The program will begin at 6:30 p.m.

Spiller and S.C. State basketball standout Roberta Williams of Charleston.
The Class of 2022 features Wofford football coach Mike Ayers, Clemson’s Fred Hoover, the “Father of Sports Medicine in South Carolina”, USC and NFL wide receiver Sidney Rice of Gaffney and Blacksburg native Judy Wilkins Rose, a former Winthrop basketball player and longtime UNC Charlotte director of athletics.
More than 40 former honorees will be participating in the featured “Walk of Legends” prior to the induction ceremony.
