Posted: Nov 07, 2014

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Five former student-athletes from five different sports were the honored guests Friday night as the Tennessee Tech Sports Hall of Fame inducted the Class of 2014. The group included Casey Benjamin (baseball 2001-2003), Stephanie Busch Warren (volleyball, 1997-2000), Howard Cochran (football, 1969-72), Dr. Aaron Hupman (rifle, 1971-73), and LeeAnn Mongar Shurette (softball, 2000-03).

A large crowd of nearly 400 was on hand in the Multipurpose Room of the Roaden University Center to recognize the inductees, including current Golden Eagle student-athletes, family members, members of the Hall of Fame, and more. Each inductee was introduced with a feature video before accepting and making remarks to the gathering.

With their addition, the Hall of Fame now numbers 173 former student-athletes, coaches, administrators and fans who are enshrined.

The five will also be introduced Saturday during halftime of the Golden Eagle Homecoming football game against Southeast Missouri. Kickoff is at 1:30 p.m.
