Charles Oliver to be inducted Today into Troy University Inaugural Hall of Fame

Testimonial - Phil Logan, The Perfect Timing Group
Yesterday at the AAU Club Championship in Orlando we experienced a driving rain storm in the middle of the meet. We had to delay the track meet and everyone ran for cover. In our rush, we left the CoachO shoulder bags housing our electronic sensors (FAT starts for Finishlynx cameras) in the bag. It rained really bad and we had an hour delay at the meet. After the rain storm we returned to the track to discover our rain soaked CoachO shoulder bag lying on the ground. I opened the canvas bag imaging all our starter sensor being soaked and very surprised all the contents were dry as a bone. This bag has a plastic lining which protects the contents in the bag from water. I was very happy all the electronic cabling and sensors were not damaged.
All my timers with the Perfect Timing Group use CoachO bags for the starters. I am happy we made this choice. Having the bags water resistance was a added bonus alone with the handy shoulder strap for the starters and the perfect size for Lynx starter sensors.
Thanks, Coach O.

The inaugural class of the Troy Athletics Hall of Fame will be honored at a ceremony inside the new Trojan Arena tonight.
11 of the most influential people in Troy athletics history will be enshrined in a state-of-the-art hall of fame that will be located at the entrance of the arena.
“It is certainly going to be a first-class event,” said Director of Special Events & Fundraising Michael Murphy. “It’s Troy’s finest being celebrated and honored in one night. Not only the athletics but the school as well.”
Troy University is celebrating its 125th this year and the hall of fame representatives will cover the near 100 years of the athletics program.
Virgil Parks McKinley was Troy’s first football coach in 1909 and helped create the gridiron tradition at the university.
NFL star DeMarcus Ware, current head coach Larry Blakeney, former coach Billy Atkins, former quarterback Sim Byrd, and former quarterback Mike Turk, who led the Trojans to the national title in 1984 and 1987, will all go in as football members of the elite class.
Ralph Adams, who served as the school’s president from 1964 to 1989, guided Troy from NAIA to Division II and saw the school win national championships in football, baseball and golf during his tenure in the 1980s.
Don Maestri, current men’s basketball head coach, Chase Riddle, Troy baseball’s all-time leader in victories and coach of the 1986 and 1987 national championship teams, Denise Monroe, the school’s all-time leading women’s basketball scorer, and track and field athlete, coach and administrator Charles “Coach O” Oliver will all also be enshrined at the ceremony.
Barry McKnight will serve as Master of Ceremonies. En lieu of acceptance speeches, special presentations filled with highlights and interviews for each inductee will be played on the new video boards in the arena.
