| SHEPHERD ADDS SIX TO ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME SHEPHERDSTOWN, W. Va. - The Shepherd University Athletic Hall of Fame will induct six new members this fall when the annual induction banquet takes place on Friday, October 7 as part of the Hall of Fame Weekend. The sextet will also be honored at the Shepherd-Charleston football game on Saturday, October 8. Two-sport athletes Neville (Bunny) Leonard ('59) (football, baseball) and Teresa Taylor ('90) (softball, basketball) join football stars Mark McHale ('73), James Rooths ('04), and Chauncey Winbush ('95 and '00) and baseball standout Ty Hart ('01) as the 20th class to be inducted. The "sensational six" bring the total number of members in the Shepherd Athletic Hall of Fame to 98. In addition, the undefeated 1955 Shepherd football team will be honored on the 50th anniversary of their remarkable season. Taylor (Hagerstown, MD/1986 graduate of Lake Forest (DE) High School) was a standout softball player for the Rams from 1987-90. Taylor was a two-time first team All-WVIAC choice and a three-time WVIAC All-Tournament selection. She also played on the Ram women's basketball team for two seasons. She is the only two-time WVIAC Player of the Year selection (1988, 1990) in program history. Taylor helped lead Shepherd to a 20-8 mark in 1988 and a 26-6 record in 1989. She led the Rams in home runs and runs batted in for all four years. Her .482 batting average in 1988 remains a school single-season record. Taylor is presently employed as an operations manager at McElroy Metal, Inc. in Winchester, Virginia. | |
