BHS hall of fame nominations due Oct. 15

By Oliver Lazenby

The Blaine Booster Club is inviting members of the community to submit nominees for its first Hall of Fame class, to be inducted in fall 2019.

People can nominate athletes, teams, coaches or contributors – anyone involved in sports at Blaine High School.

To nominate a Borderite, go to blaineathleticboosterclub.com, click on the “Hall of Fame” tab and find the nomination form. Nomination forms are also available at the Blaine High School athletic office.

Completed forms can be emailed to blainewaboosterclub@gmail.com, turned in to athletic director Sean Linville, or mailed to the Blaine Athletic Booster Club at PO box 152, Blaine, WA 98231. Submissions are due Monday, October 15.

The booster club will research nominations and announce its decisions early next year, said Hall of Fame subcommittee member John Liebert.

Liebert said the booster club’s Hall of Fame subcommittee has a lot of ideas about who will be inducted – obvious choices include Luke Ridnour, who played in the NBA, and the 1978 football team that won the state championship title, he said. “We are looking for people to submit some names or teams that we don’t know,” Liebert said. “We want the community to be involved in this.”
