Although they hail from three different towns and participated in different sports throughout the years for various schools, 13 individuals will be bonded together in a first-ever event on Saturday.

Collins-Maxwell-Baxter will induct these individuals to its inaugural Hall of Fame class at a celebratory banquet. Each current CMB school will feature a new trophy case for the inductees, which will include a plaque, list of accomplishments and the mascot of the school for which the athlete played.

“As a graduate of the first class from Collins-Maxwell and a coach of CMB for 16 years, I am so excited to see this happen,” said Rob Luther, Baxter High School principal and CMB football coach. “It is an awesome opportunity for our schools to recognize athletes who were not only tremendous on the field, but also were hugely influential to many of our younger students and people in our community. It is a great way to have them forever be remembered for all who walk in our halls.”
