Since 1984, the Hancock Sports Hall of Fame has inducted local athletes, teams, coaches, officials, announcers, writers and administrators representing all sports in Hancock County.
Nearly 240 athletes and 34 teams have been inducted over 40+ years. They represent 13 different schools and 35 sports categories or support roles.
Ben Roethlisberger, a 2017 Hancock Hall of Fame inductee, is well known. But do you know Ray Harroun, William Ellsworth “Dummy” Hoy, Peggy (Kirk) Bell, Grant “Home Run” Johnson, or Bernie Little?

The Glory Days of sporting careers are brought back to life with the swing of a golf club, the cheering crowds in a stadium, the smell of chlorine from the pool, the crack of a bat, the sound of tennis shoes on a basketball court. These triggers bring back memories of last-minute buzzer beaters, Hail Mary long bombs and the grand slams that turned an athlete into a hero.
The Hancock Sports Hall of Fame is dedicated to recognizing and honoring the athletes and those who contributed to the history of sports in Hancock County. Please consider donating to this important tradition. You may donate online or download and print a PDF form to complete and mail to us.
