Herb Appenzeller to be Inducted to Guilford County Sports Hall of Fame
Herb Appenzeller, Jefferson-Pilot Professor of Sport Studies Emeritus, will be inducted to the Guilford County Sports Hall of Fame later this year.
He will be joined by eight other inductees--UNCG women's basketball coach Lynne Agee, NFL standouts Jeff and Joe Bostic, high school football coach Dick Kemp, college and pro basketball star Danny Manning, newspaper writer Bodie McDowell, auto racer Ken Rush and baseball star Floyd "Pep" Young.
During Appenzeller's 31-year tenure as Guilford's athletics director, the Quakers captured national titles in men's basketball (1973) and women's tennis (1981). It was his vision that provided the impetus for the college to create one of the nation's first academic majors in sport management in the early 1980s.
Appenzeller is a member of several other Halls of Fame.
