ORIGINAL POST: This announcement comes from the Minnesota High School Basketball Hall of Fame.

"ATTENTION MINNESOTA HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL FANS!

A committee was recently formed to organize a Minnesota High School Basketball Hall of Fame, and the we are seeking the public's input as well as basketball historians with possible future inductees.

The Hall will recognize Minnesota's outstanding players, coaches, officials, media personnel, and other contributors throughout the boys' and girls' high school basketball eras. We would like to receive any nominations for the Hall's initial class by Tuesday, July 31, 2012. This is an excellent opportunity for the general public to have an input on state high school basketball history.  

Minnesota is looking to become only the third state in the country to have a high school basketball Hall of Fame. The others are Indiana and South Dakota."
