Talk about it

Eight individuals and one team will join last year’s inaugural Wildcat Hall of Fame class when the second annual Wildcat Hall of Fame Golf Tournament and Banquet takes place Friday, Aug. 3, at Kilkarney Hills Golf Club.

This year’s class includes athletes Jay Wollan (RFHS Class of 1966), Thomas J. Murphy (1967), Kim (Robey) Huggett (1979), Mike Benedict (1989) and Carolyn M. Klecker (1992). Former Wildcat wrestling coach Dave Brandvold will be inducted into the Coaches category and Bob Dawson will be honored in the Legacy category, while Howie Nelson will enter the hall as Distinguished Citizen.

The 2001-02 Wildcat gymnastics team, the first team to win a state championship in RFHS history, will be the inaugural team inducted into the hall.
