The legacy of Azle athletics will take center stage once again as the 2025 Azle ISD Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony honors three outstanding contributors to the Hornet tradition. The event will be held Saturday, Oct. 25, from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Azle High School Competition Gym, followed by a reception to celebrate the newest members of the Hall.

This year’s inductees include Terry Wolf, class of 1977; Gary Rushing, class of 1969; and the 1959 and 1960 state champion cross-country teams, the first team state champions in Azle High School history.

Wolf, inducted into the Texas Baseball Coaches Association Hall of fame in 2020, and Rushing, the celebrated football and basketball star and also former head football coach at Azle High School along with Charles Harrington, a member of the 1960 state championship cross-country team — lost but not forgotten — will be on hand to celebrate with family and friends. Stay tuned for the rest of the story.
