Associated Press - Former San Antonio Spurs player Sean Elliott and Atlanta Falcons quarterback Ty Detmer head a group of 13 who will be inducted into the National High School Hall of Fame in July.
Elliott, a high school star in Arizona, was a first-round NBA draft pick out of Arizona in 1989. He played 12 years in the NBA and became the first player in league history to return to action following a major organ transplant after receiving a kidney from his brother in 1999.
His Number 32 was retired by the Spurs this month.
Detmer, who is from San Antonio, was a Texas high school player of the year and won the Heisman Trophy as the nation's top college player in 1990 as a junior at Brigham Young. He has played for six teams during a 13-year NFL career.
Others to be inducted in San Antonio on July 2 during the summer meeting of the National Federation of State High School Associations include Chad Hennings, who played on three Super Bowl teams with the Dallas Cowboys; LaTaunya Pollard, 1979 Miss Basketball in Indiana from East Chicago Roosevelt; and Patty Sheehan, who won 35 LPGA events.
