Sports Hall of Fame

RMA SPORTS HALL OF FAME

Riverside Preparatory Academy's athletic heritage is one of outstanding individual and team successes. To recognize this part of our heritage during our centennial celebrations in 2007, we created the Riverside Academy Sports Hall of Fame. The first members of our Sports Hall of Fame were inducted on Oct. 13, 2007, as part of our homecoming festivities.

This list includes athletes and coaches who had outstanding careers at Riverside and many who went on to have distinguished careers in college and professional sports.
