Five sports legends will be honored in May when the formal induction of the GWSHOF is staged. Bill Curry, Fred Lynch, Ron Musselman, Tamera Young and Ed Wilson are set to join the pantheon of Wilmington greats.
The three signature events for the GWSHOF’s 19th induction weekend are set. The weekend will feature an introductory luncheon (May 15), the Joe Miller Memorial Golf Tournament (May 16) and the Induction Ceremony (May 17).
Scott Braswell, Kim Crabbe, Tommy Craig, David Miller and Jerry Wainwright were enshrined during 2025 GWSHOF induction festivities. A sellout crowd witnessed the formal induction at the Wilmington Convention Center.
The Greater Wilmington Sports Hall of Fame is a non-profit organization dedicated to celebrating Wilmington’s rich sports history and honoring its legendary athletes, coaches and contributors. It was created in 2005 under the guidance of Hall of Fame football coach Bill Dooley.
The distinguished first class was introduced in 2006 and the Class of ’26 will soon commemorate the GWSHOF’s 20th anniversary.
The GWSHOF Board of Directors is composed of community leaders who organize and administer the group’s three keynote events, capped by the Legends Induction Banquet. The Wilmington community continues to support the GWSHOF’s efforts each year through strong attendance at the events and sponsorships.
