Trojan Hall of Fame

Trevecca inducted members #38 and #39 into the Trevecca Athletic Hall of Fame during ceremonies at Homecoming on November 8, 2008-Scott Jones, Trevecca's most successful volleyball coach, and Jim Hendershot, one of Trevecca's most faithful supporters. Both men died unexpectedly in 2008.

James E. "Jim" Hendershot '67, a successful State Farm Insurance agent in Brentwood, Tennessee, had far-reaching ties to Trevecca: a member of the Trevecca Board of Trustees, frequent participant in Trevecca golf tournaments, and loyal fan of Trevecca athletics.
