Rosauers Chips In To Move Inland Northwest Hall Of Fame
The Inland Northwest Hall of Fame is moving, thanks in part to the sponsorship commitment of Rosauers Supermarkets.
The Greater Spokane Sports Association and the Spokane Public Facilities District announced the financial participation of Rosauers.
Currently located in the Coliseum, the Hall of Fame will move to the new Veterans Memorial Arena this fall.
DeVries Moving and Storage, at no cost, is providing the services to transport and store Hall of Fame memorabilia.
Jon Heimbigner, GSSA Hall of Fame chairman, said “with support from Rosauers and the Public Facilities District, a 32-year tradition can continue.”
The Hall of Fame display cases, built by the North Central High School shop class in 1989, are being donated to the Johnson O’Malley Indian Education program in the Springdale School District, Heimbigner said.
The cases will be used to display Native American artifacts, handicrafts, artwork and students’ artwork, program president Toni Flett said.

Spokane’s Mike Peterson was one of three officials who worked the second-round National Invitation Tournament game between New Mexico State and Texas-El Paso.
Two former area Class B players earned Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference accolades for Saint Mary’s College in Leavenworth, Kan.
Alli Davidson, a Saint Mary’s freshman from Curlew, was the No. 7 vote-getter and earned second-team All-MCAC honors. She led the Spires’ women in scoring (15.7 average) and 3-point shooting (57 of 164), was second in assists (61) and steals (31) and third in rebounding (112) while playing in all 25 games.
Byron Anderson, a sophomore from Liberty, also was a second-team All-MCAC selection, missing a first-team spot by one vote.
SWIMMING
