Holy Innocents’ Wall-of-Fame Athletes to be Inducted Friday Night

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. -- Four former athletes from Holy Innocents' Episcopal School (HIES) will be inducted into the Wall of Fame at halftime Friday night during the football game against Wesleyan. (HIES home games are played at Riverwood.)

“We are honored by the outstanding contributions that each of the Wall of Fame athletes made to the success of our teams,” Athletic Director Ruth Donahoo said. "Their hard work, dedication and personal drive are great examples to our community and we look forward to honoring them." Names of the athletes will not be released until Friday evening.

Friday's game, the Region 5A opener for both teams, is expected to be the most important game on the Golden Bears’ 10-game regular season schedule, said football Coach Ryan Livezey. Wesleyan is coming in as the defending region champions, while HI has maintained its hold as a perennial conference power.
