Legends of Blanchard High School Athletics

   One year ago, the Blanchard Board of Education initiated a "Blanchard Athletic Hall of Fame". The tradition that was created long ago in Blanchard High School athletic teams is legendary among Oklahoma high schools, so the Board thought that former players, coaches, and supporters should be recognized as such. The first two inductees of 2016 were Oscar Brooks (graduated 1950) a former athlete and long time supporter and Sonny Vermillion, a former baseball coach and also long time supporter. The Blanchard Public Schools Alumni Association will now induct the second class of the Athletic Hall of Fame, and the new inductees are just as legendary as the inaugural class. The 2017 inductees are Susan Winters, athlete; Tom Bergman, athlete; David Brooks, athlete; Rebel Paulk, athlete; and Scott Richey, supporter. All five inductees are "legendary" in the history of Blanchard athletics, but you will have to wait until Saturday evening at the Intermediate Cafetorium to learn about the contributions each made to Blanchard High School athletics. They will be honored at the Blanchard Alumni Banquet beginning at 6 PM, October 7.
