We would like to say thank you to all who braved the weather and came out to our Fall of Fame! Also a huge thank you to Holly Grove Lutheran Church and all of the volunteers who assisted - we couldn’t hold events without all of your help! Just a reminder we still have raffle tickets for sale until November 12, so please email [email protected] or by reaching out to a member of the Sports Management Team if interested in purchasing. They are $5 each or 3 for $10.

We concluded the event with our Hall of Fame 2026 celebration and dinner provided by Holly Grove Lutheran Church. We celebrated two very special athletes who have each participated for 30 years! The first is Matthew Kinney who participates in basketball and softball. The second Matthew Hedrick who participates in bowling and bocce. Give them each a round of applause!

We were also honored to award the SODC Jack DeHart Volunteer Award to Davidson County School staff for all of their years of dedication to the SODC program. The SODC Outstanding Family award was granted to the Wilkerson family - we’re so thankful for all that Stephanie, Lori, and Robert do for SODC and SONC.
