On Saturday, eight individuals and two teams were welcomed into the hallowed hall. Harold McClellan, a 1958 graduate, was the first to take the stage after being introduced by his son and fellow Hall-of-Famer Jef McClellan, who was inducted in 2012. “I can’t express what it means to stand here and introduce my father tonight,” McClellan said as his father made his way to the podium. “It’s a very special night for all of us.” Harold McClellan, a three-sport See HOF 3B NED HICKSON/SIUSLAW NEWS Sept. 1 • SHS V-BALL AT P HILOMATH 4 P .
