Six former prep players who achieved high school greatness will be honored by the Iowa High School Athletic Association with Hall of Fame induction at the 2015 Playoff Championships this fall.

The induction ceremonies will be featured at the halftime of the Class 4A Championship game the evening of Friday, November 20 in the University of Northern Iowa Dome.

Included among the new inductees and their year of graduation are Shamus McDonough of Corning (1978); Todd Millikan from Shenandoah (1984); Joel Crisman of Grundy Center (1989); Matt Straight from Logan-Magnolia (1991); Derek Sobaski of Pekin (1999); and Jason Scales who played at Valley, West Des Moines (2004).

Each of the six was a first team All-State player and a multiple sport athlete. Collectively, they also appeared in eight State Championship games. Five went on to play at the Division I level, and each has found ways to give back to the game and their communities.

The IHSAA Football Players Hall of Fame was started in 1980 by the Board of Control and this 36th honored class brings the total to 172 players from 108 schools. The Iowa Football Coaches Association will announce their coach hall of fame selections and the Walt Fiegel Coaching with Character Award winner later this fall. Those honorees will also be recognized at the championship games.
