Casillas Inducted to Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame
Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
Former Sooner Tony Casiilas inducted into Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame: Basketball great Marques Haynes had made three wishes, and all of them came true Wednesday at the state capitol. It happened when the 2008 Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame class was introduced in the capitol's Blue Room. Two former state football stars, Oklahoma noseguard Tony Casillas and Tulsa wide receiver Drew Pearson, were added to the previously announced quartet of baseball pitcher Eddie Fisher, wrestling legend Jack Van Bebber and basketball coaches Bob Bass and Zip Gayles. Casillas, a two-time All-American at OU, and Fisher, one of baseball's best relief pitchers for 15 years, also attended Wednesday's press conference. "Being recognized as one of the greatest athletes in Oklahoma is something I never envisioned," said Casillas, a Tulsa native. "It's very humbling to be mentioned in the same breath with these individuals." (The Oklahoman)
Waiting game: Tulsa World
