The Hall of Fame began in 1977 by Coach Gene Cox to pay tribute the Leon High Football Program and to those who by their hard work, dedication and competitive spirit unify all students, past and present. The Annual Hall of Fame Banquet is attended by inductees, family, friends, teachers and alumni to celebrate the legacy of the Leon Lions.
