Seven prestigious annual awards will be among a full slate of honors to be presented at the Greater New Orleans Sports Hall of Fame Banquet on Saturday, August 5, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
The Greater New Orleans Sports Awards Committee, sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl, selects annual award winners in a variety of categories; it also selects Amateur Athletes of the Month and each year's Hall of Fame class. Overall, 23 individuals and three teams will be honored at the banquet.
This year's Hall of Fame class will be announced over the next four days while the Corbett Awards, which recognize the top male and female amateur athletes in the state, will be released next week.
