On Dec. 22, 2019, seven major contributors to athletics in our state were introduced as the New Mexico Sports Hall of Fame’s 2020 induction class.
On Aug. 15, some 20 months and a pandemic later, they’ll finally be presented to the public at the NMSHOF’s annual banquet.
The deadline for ticket purchases is Friday. To order or for more information, go to nmshof.com.

Not much was truly annual last year – the banquet was originally scheduled for April 2020, and the Hall of Fame opted not to name a class of 2021 – but the Aug. 15 event does reflect a certain return to normalcy.
To compare NMSHOF classes would be next to impossible and probably unfair. Still, the collective stature of these seven inductees clearly would rank at or near the top for impact and achievements made on the national stage.

Herb Hughes, a longtime state and local elected official, government administrator, university professor and coach – who had a hand in banning indoor smoking in Albuquerque and reworking the state funding formula for public schools – died earlier this month at his home in Albuquerque. He was 90 years old.
Hughes, nicknamed “The Boy From Roy,” was born in Roy and raised in Albuquerque. He was tapped by two former governors for state jobs, served as a high-level administrator for Bernalillo County and was elected to two terms on both the Albuquerque City Council and the Public Regulation Commission.
