Mary Elizabeth Hooper is part of the 2018 Pizza Hut Shocker Sports Hall of Fame induction class. The class will be inducted at a banquet on Sat., Jan. 27.
The signs pointed Mary Elizabeth Hooper to Wichita State to play volleyball.
Her coach at Plano (Texas) High knew Wichita State coach Chris Lamb and directed her to his summer camp after her sophomore year. When she visited Wichita State, Lamb showed her a plaque honoring former Shocker baseball star Kevin Hooper and told her she could be the second Hooper in the Pizza Hut Shocker Sports Hall of Fame.
