As predicted, Van Chancellor had the huge crowd falling out of their seats.
Gillom winner Martha Alwal, flanked by HoF board president Oscar Miskelly and C Spire’s Jim Richmond. It was at this point, the emcee cracked: “Stand-up Oscar!”
Thank-you to all who attended today’s C Spire Howell-Gillom Awards Luncheon. Thanks to the players, the coaches, the fans and the media. Thanks to Van Chancellor for an incredibly well-done keynote speech. Van could take his show on the road. Thanks to C Spire for your continuing support of Mississippi sports and the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum. Thanks also to Elwin Williams for the photos.
