He only had good things to say about these teams and the people he played with. In an interview he mentioned his cocaptain Lester Taylor and the great memories they made and how successful they were. “Les Taylor is probably as good a basketball player as I’ve seen yet today.” Doug Woolard had the honor of coaching two of the four basketball players inducted in the first Hall of Fame class and all three of the individual male basketball players being inducted with him into the second class. Woolard talked about the honor it was to coach such talented people and said that he is sure that in the future more of the players he got the opportunity to coach will be getting inducted.

Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014 for her accomplishments in basketball, Mason demonstrated that devotion, discipline, and dedication serve as pillars for success in both school and life. “You’re only as good as the people that surround you. I was surrounded with great coaches… we had a wonderful team and I think we could still go out and take that court today and probably hold our own.” During her time at CCHS, Mason earned a total of eleven varsity letters. She also was awarded 2nd team in all-state for basketball. Inductees into this year’s Hall of Fame were announced at the Carbondale-Murphysboro football game on August 29. “It’s such an honor and a privilege to even be… inducted into the class… It’s gonna be a night that I’m going to remember for a long time.” Seth Smith, class of 1993, was another inductee into the second Hall of Fame class this fall. Smith was a two sport athlete who participated in basketball and football. He excelled at both sports, but he attended the University of Michigan on a football scholarship.
