A top sports journalist, a wrestling official, a football great, a basketball star, a major league hall of fame baseball coach, and a world-class swimmer are this year’s inductees into the Broward County Sports Hall of Fame presented by the Greater Fort Lauderdale CVB Sports Development Office. These six honorees will be inducted on December 11, 2007at the Broward County Convention Center. The level of commitment these six new members have shown for their respective sports and the recognition they have brought to the County is the reason they are being inducted into the Broward County Sports Hall of Fame.
You may never have heard of them, but every one of them has a special story -- every one of them set a standard of excellence and affected our community in some positive way. The 2007 inductees are: Fred Turner (Coral Springs) who spent 25 years as a sports editor including a tenure at the Sun-Sentinel; Rick Tucci (Pembroke Pines) is the current President of the USA Wrestling Officials Association; Errict Rhett (Pembroke Pines) spent 7 years with the NFL and was the first player in NCAA history to rush over 4100 yards and catch 150 passes; Greg Samuel is a record winning basketball head coach at Hallandale High and is currently teaching and coaching at Flanagan High School; Earl Weaver (Pembroke Pines) spent his entire major league baseball managerial career with the Orioles.
