As you walk the track on the sixth floor of the Rec Plex, you will notice three new faces on the walls.During halftime of the men’s basketball game this past weekend the Loyola Athletic Hall of Fame inducted Butler Powell, B ’60, Roland Hymel, B ’53, and the 1971 Baseball team as a part of the 12th class inducted into the Hall of Fame.Powell was the Wolfpack’s starting catcher from 1957-60. As team captain in 1960, Powell helped the team to a 16-2 season. In 1959 he batted a personal best .359, good for second on the team. After graduating from Loyola, he signed a professional contract with the Milwaukee Braves.Hymel, a two-sport athlete, represented Loyola in archery and track and field from 1949-53. In 1951, ’52 and ’53 Hymel finish edsecond in the national collegiate archery tournament and first in the state. As a pole-vaulter, Hymel held a Gulf States Conference record of twelve feet — three inches, and a personal best of thirteen feet — six inches.The 1971 Baseball team holds the best Loyola NCAA Division I record for wins in a season with a record of 34-12. The 1971 team scored wins against nationally ranked Arizona State, Mississippi State and South Alabama, as well as Louisiana State University, Tulane University and the University of New Orleans. Six players batted .300 or better. After the cancellation of athletics at the end of the 1971 season, five members of the team went on to sign professional baseball contracts. Included among them is Loyola Hall of Fame member Wally Pontiff, A ’75.According to Jerry Hernandez, athletic director and head men’s basketball coach, the Hall of Fame commission — comprised of Hernandez; Brett Simpson and Dobee Plaisance, assistant athletic directors; and 12 alumni – selects inductees.”Once an athlete has been nominated . . . Felix Gaudin (a historian and member of the commission) researches his career,” Hernandez said. “Members of the commission are given information including statistics, Times-Picayune articles, etc. to vote on. Nominees are judged strictly on their Loyola careers.”Also on Saturday night, Robert Reed, director of Residential Life, was presented with the St. Sebastian Award. This award — named for the patron saint of athletics — is awarded to a person who shows dedication to Loyola athletics.Hernandez said that Reed’s dedication to maintaining the scoreboard in the Den has been outstanding.”I can count on my hand the number games he has missed in the 11 years since we started athletics here,” Hernandez said. “This isn’t an award we give every year.”
