NORFOLK, Va. -- Former Old Dominion women’s basketball great Ticha Penicheiro and former ODU wrestling coach Gray Simons were selected as two of six 2016 inductees into the Hampton Roads Hall of Fame, the committee announced on Wednesday afternoon. The induction class was also highlighted by ODU Athletics Hall of Fame member Joe Agee.
The class will be honored at an induction banquet on Oct. 26 at Norfolk Scope.
Penicheiro’s playing style was one of a unique mixture of panache and skill, which earned her many a fan in the Hampton Roads area as she led the Lady Monarchs to the 1997 NCAA championship game.
