Rockport-Fulton ISD eyes $960k for schools with VATRE proposal<\/a><\/p>\nThis year\u2019s inductees – Tommy Elkins, Duke Lopez, Mark Johnson, Steve Campbell and Renee Dodd-White – were celebrated for their achievements on and off the field, each leaving a lasting mark on the school\u2019s storied athletic tradition.<\/p>\n
For Dodd-White, the recognition carried extra meaning. She joined her late father, Bobby Dodd Jr., who was inducted into the Hall of Fame back in 2013.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy dad, I know, is here tonight,\u201d Dodd-White said. \u201cHe would be very proud of me as he always was. He was my biggest fan, so I think he would be very proud of me tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
She reflected on how far girls\u2019 basketball has come since her playing days.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s fun to go back and look at the past,\u201d Dodd-White said. \u201cForty-something years ago we started five-man basketball, and now it\u2019s exciting to see it coming to light again. I\u2019m excited to be here, to be part of that history and to see where it\u2019s going.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fellow inductee Steve Campbell said the honor is rooted in gratitude for the people and experiences that shaped his decades-long coaching career.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had great friends, great teammates and great coaches,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cAll three of those groups inspired me to get into coaching, and sure enough, I spent 42 years in the field.\u201d<\/p>\n
Campbell added that joining the Hall of Fame alongside some of Ray\u2019s most iconic athletes is a humbling experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome of the people that have already been inducted into the Ray High School Athletic Hall of Fame are really icons for Ray High School,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m really humbled to be a part of this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ray High School honored five new Hall of Fame inductees, including Renee Dodd-White, who joined her late father…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18726,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[155,157,156],"class_list":["post-18725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-corpus-christi","tag-corpus-christi","tag-corpus-christi-headlines","tag-corpus-christi-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18725"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18725\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
