WHS coaches to start Mule Hall of Fame

Members of the Wahkiakum High School Coaches Association have decided to create a Mules Hall of Fame to honor athletes and coaches who have participated in Mule athletics over the years.

The first members will be inducted this May.

Two events are planned around the induction to raise funds to support Mule athletic programs.

The first is the Hall of Fame Induction Dinner, which the coaches plan to make an annual event. The dinner will be May 21, 6 p.m., at the WHS gym. The $30 cost will include a dinner of crab, oysters, spaghetti, garlic bread and beverage, with proceeds going to the athletic programs. There will also be a silent auction.

A separate event will be an 18 hole scramble tournament at Skyline Golf Course. Coordinator Nick Vavoudis, Mule assistant golf coach, said the tournament will start at 10 a.m. and be limited to nine teams. There will be a $10,000 hole in one event, and a closest to the pin event that will be open to the public.

Entry fees are $150 per person and include green fees, cart, range balls and all events.

All funds raised will be donated to the WHS School Sports Fund, Vavoudis said.
