POSTED: 10:16 pm CDT August 3, 2010 SHREVEPORT, La. – The Ark-La-Tex Sports Museum of Champions will induct five new members during ceremonies beginning at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 7 in the Shreveport Convention Center. The five new members will join the list of 113 past inductees. The list of 2010 inductees includes Canadian Football Hall of Famer William Thomas “Tommy” Hinton, LSU and Baltimore Colts defensive tackle Fred Miller and Louisiana Tech and NBA basketball coach Robert “Scotty” Robertson. Ruston High School football coach L.J. "Hoss" Garrett and motorcycle drag racing great Richard Nallin will be inducted posthumously. Receiving a special lifetime achievement award for his contribution to sports is renowned orthopedic surgeon William S. Bundrick, Sr., M.D., of the Bone & Joint Clinic in Bossier City, La. The museum will be open at 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 7 for a reception followed by the banquet at 7 p.m. Individual and group tickets can be purchased for the event by contacting Dr. George Bakowski at (318) 221-8445. Forced to close its doors in 2002, the Sports Museum of Champions reopened in 2007 in its current home, the lobby of the Shreveport Convention Center. At that time, the museum’s name changed to the Ark-La-Tex Sports Museum of Champions and the selection area expanded to include more athletes from the Ark-La-Tex region.
