August 21, 2011 BLACKSBURG, Va. — Six new members, including three from Southwest Virginia, have been selected for induction to the Virginia Tech Sports Hall of Fame. The six 2011 inductees are: Brad Clontz, a record-setting pitcher for the Hokies in the early 1990s who went on to help the Atlanta Braves to a World Series Championship in 1995. Josh Feldman, who wrestled his way to an 85-23-1 career record and All-America honors as a heavyweight for the Hokies. Shayne Graham, Tech’s all-time leading scorer in football and one of the heroes during the Hokies’ march to the national championship game in 1999. John Moody, a former Tech football player who became an athletic fund-raiser supreme over nearly four decades of service to the university. Phil Rogers, a gifted tailback who became the first Tech player to rush for 1,000 yards in a season before excelling as a quarterback his senior year. Tere Williams, the Hokies’ all-time leader in rebounds and the first Tech women’s basketball player to be selected in the WNBA Draft. The six new honorees will be inducted at a Hall of Fame dinner on the Tech campus on Friday, Oct. 7, the evening before Tech's home football game against the University of Miami. Each of the inductees will be introduced to fans at halftime of the football game.
