NORFOLK, Va. — It seems every year, the Hampton Roads Sports Hall of Fame tops itself when it comes to special classes for induction. Wednesday night was no different. Five new members were enshrined at a ceremony from ODU’s Chartway Arena.
Among them, Tommy Reamon Sr. graduated from George Washington Carver High School in Newport News, and was twice named National Junior College football player of the year before transferring to University of Missouri. He played in the NFL and World Football League, earning MVP honors in 1974. He’d return home to coach at Ferguson, Warwick, Gloucester, Landstown and Denbigh high schools.
