16 Selected to the Southwest Arkansas Softball Hall of Fame
Hope- The 2024 coveted Watermelon Softball Tournament was kicked off again this year by honoring some of the legends in the Men's Softball world, as sixteen new members were selected into the Southwest Arkansas Softball Hall of Fame. These new members included: Jay Barnette, Rick "Buff" Barton, Darrin "D-Boy" Boyette, Todd Carroll, Charles Gulley, Juan "Poncho" Johnson, Jeffery McClure, Dexter Nelson, Richard Poole, Robert Poole, Tommy Poole, Matt Porter, Marc Scroggins, Carlos Vanhook, Randolph Vanhook, and Jeff Woods.

A very well done ceremony took place around 5:30 on the eve of one of the biggest tournaments around, were Taylor Wood delivered great introductions for all of the new members, as each new inductee was brought out after a lot of accomplishments were mentioned and the one thing that all the new Hall of Famers had in common, is that they all cherish all the memories and friendships made while playing a sport that brought out the best of their competitive nature. Below are photos from the event.
