Jan 09, 2010 LHSAA Revamps High School Sports Hall of Fame Basketball Classics
BATON ROUGE - The Louisiana High School Athletic Association is teaming up with the Louisiana High School Sports Hall of Fame to sponsor a series of Basketball Classics to be held at various sites throughout the state. In a continued effort to raise funds for the Hall of Fame, and make the games a much larger event, the LHSAA will coordinate the events. All proceeds from the Basketball Classics will go to the Hall of Fame Fund.
The Hall of Fame Basketball Classic games will be played in seven different locations; each site hosting at least four games. The games will feature the best local matchups in boys' and girls' basketball from all different classifications based on team success and fan interest. Tickets will be $10 for General Admission and $5 for students with valid identification.
Louisiana High School Sports Basketball Classic Schedule:
Jan 09, 2010: Northwestern State University, Sulphur High School
Jan 16, 2010: Nicholls State, Centenary College
Jan 30, 2010: Alario Center - New Orleans, Louisiana State University
Feb 06, 2010: University of Louisiana - Monroe
The Hall of Fame Basketball Classic games were established in 1979, one year after the Hall of Fame committee was created as a way to defray the cost associated with the Hall of Fame banquet, plaques, program, etc. This fundraiser helps ensure that the extraordinary accomplishments of student-athletes, coaches and administrators across our great state are honored.
Other plans in place for the Hall of Fame include a permanent location to house the collection of inductees which will become a reality December 14, 2009 when the LHSAA moves into its brand new, state-of-the-art, central office building in Baton Rouge. The venue will serve as the permanent home to the LHSAA office staff, meeting rooms, a banquet hall and a 2,000 square-foot Hall of Fame wing.

Dec 09, 2006 Tommy Henry Courage Award
The inception of the Superdome/LHSAA Tommy Henry Courage Award was announced Saturday at the Prep Classic in the Louisiana Superdome. The award will be presented to an individual from an LHSAA member institution each year at the Prep Classic, the organization's annual state football championships, beginning next year.
The announcement was made on the field at halftime of the Class 5A championship game, where a replica of the award, a crystal eagle, was presented to Henry.
Henry has served as comissioner of the LHSAA since 1983, and is retiring next spring. The Prep Classic has developed into one of the most successful high school sports events in the nation under his leadership, drawing an average of nearly 50,000 fans per year. This marks the 25th time the event has been held in the Superdome.
The award will be presented to an individual who has demonstrated extraordinary courage by overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles or through acts of heroism and personal fortitude. Nominations will be accepted from all LHSAA member institutions and the decision will be made by a panel of representatives from the LHSAA, the Superdome, and the Louisiana Sportswriters Association.
