We are privileged to honor eight individuals who have brought recognition to themselves, their families, and the entire Rio Grande Valley in the field of sports.
Many hours have been spent by our volunteer board members to ensure that these truly deserving individuals will be honored for their achievements. They now join a very elite group of more than 200 past inductees.
The class of 2022 offers a group of men and women who have excelled in sports and sport-related professions. It is always special when we can cherish the memories that they have brought us. This year’s group includes Larry Caldwell of Mission (baseball/ football), Tony Guerrero of Mission (football officiating), David Longhofer of Harlingen (football), Albert Ochoa of Edinburg (golf), Joe Solis of Edcouch Elsa (football), Richard Thompson of Mission (sports administrator), Gabriel Valdez of Weslaco (basketball), and Laura Vasquez of Edinburg (track and field).
The Rio Grande Valley Sports Hall of Fame is also giving out seventeen academic achievement awards to deserving high school graduates throughout the Rio Grande Valley. They are recognized for their leadership skills, academic achievements, and are current standouts in their respective high school sport.
On behalf of the Rio Grande Valley Sports Hall of Fame, we thank you for your support. Enjoy the evening.
