Three former standout athletes and a State Champion boys golf team will be inducted into the Eagle River/Northland Pines High School Athletic Hall of Fame (HOF) this Friday, Aug. 28, starting at 4:30 p.m. in the school auditorium.
The inductees who make up the 24th HOF class include Jim Bradford, Shawn Carter and Jinelle Zaugg-Siergiej. The 1986 boys golf team will be inducted in the HOF team category.
The Northland Pines 2026 State Champion boys hockey team also will be recognized at the ceremony.
According to HOF Committee Chairman Larry Snedden, teammates, family, friends and fans of Northland Pines athletics are invited to attend the induction ceremony.
Snedden said a highlight of the program is when each of the inductees is introduced by a presenter and each inductee recounts their time as an Eagle.
“It’s heartwarming to listen to the acceptance speeches from each inductee,” said Snedden. “Many sports memories are shared, and it’s amazing how many great relationships were built during their athletic careers at Northland Pines.”
The inductees will also be introduced at halftime of the varsity football game later that evening between Northland Pines and Ashland, billed as the Hall of Fame Game, at 7 p.m.
Following the game, the inductees, family members and friends are invited to a reception at The Braywood, located at 4109 Braywood Lane, Eagle River.
The HOF is located in the hallway adjacent to the fieldhouse in the high school. A new feature at the hall of fame is the ability to view the inductee photos and biographies on an interactive touch-screen display.
