Packer Sports Greats Hall of Fame
|
Congratulations to all the members of the South High School Packer Sports Greats Athletic Hall of Fame!
Since 1996 we have been honoring South’s outstanding individual athletes, coaches, and teams. Many championships were won due to these individuals, giving great glory and pride to South High and the South Omaha community. We also recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the school’s athletic programs and facilities. Many SHS athletes continued to make their mark later with careers in college and professional sports. A group of outstanding alumni were inducted into the 2019 Packer Sports Greats Hall of Fame on October 23, 2019 at Anthony's Steakhouse. See event pictures now. To see a list of all Sports Greats members by their induction year click here. See below for this year's inductees and links to inductee bios and pictures. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we will not have a 2020 or a 2021 Packer Sports Greats class. |
