Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame - 2024 Celebration
New Orleans Saints Champion Drew Brees, Basketball Hall of Famer Seimone Augustus, and legendary Grambling Coach and Sports Ambassador Wilbert Ellis are part of a star-studded group of honorees recently inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame this past June. LPB celebrates these iconic sports figures and the entire induction class in a two-hour special, LOUISIANA SPORTS HALL OF FAME: 2024 CELEBRATION.
This LPB special, produced in partnership with the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame, captures highlights from the June induction ceremony and many of the festivities leading up to it. Included in the program will be exclusive induction interviews and profile stories on the honorees, plus a first look at the new memorabilia added to the Sports Hall of Fame Museum in Natchitoches.
The contributions that these Louisiana superstars have made to the world of sports is legendary. Our partnership with the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame allows us to relive and share those stories with a wide audience statewide and also nationally and internationally with our digital stream. -- Clarence “C.C” Copeland, LPB President and CEO
