ERHS to Host Athletic Hall of Fame Inductions

The RHS Hall of Fame Committee will induct 10 new members into the Athletic Hall of Fame during the halftime football show on Friday night (Aug. 18th), marking the first time the tradition has been brought back to life since the pandemic.

The 2023-24 inductees will be announced as the Warriors play their first game of the season against the Bakersfield Drillers (7:30 p.m. kick off for the varsity team). They will also be honored inside the school’s Hall of Fame display that is located on the first floor of the 38-room classroom complex. The exact date for the induction dinner is pending, according to Warrior Athletic Director Kevin Barbarick.

“It’s a very accomplished and impressive group,’’ said Principal Ted Lyon. The Athletic Hall of Fame started in 2003.
