 OUR TEAM OF THE YEAR

Each year the Hall honors a local team that had an outstanding performance. This year our honoree is the 1989 Southwest Boys basketball team. The team posted a remarkable 24-5 record and defeated their rival, Baldwin 59-38 in the State Championship game at Georgia Tech's Alexander Memorial Coliseum. This was Coach Don Richardson's sixth and final title. The team was led by Ivano Newbill, who was crowned Mr. Georgia Basketball, and Russell Odom, who was the captain and the Most Valuable Player of the State Tournament.
