The team induction for this year’s class is the 2000-01 team, which ended a 20-year playoff drought. The Wildcats went 9-1 that season, and hosted the first home playoff game in school history. In that game, they defeated Tullahoma 34-26. That team features eight individual Hall of Famers.
The class will be inducted pregame before the Wildcats kick off their season against the Blackman Blaze at Hilda J. Richardson on Friday, hoping to keep their 25-game regular season win streak alive.
