Murray State Athletics is proud to introduce the class of 2020 of the MSU Hall of Fame.
The 2020 class was released in alphabetical order on GoRacers.com. So far, John Beaton of baseball (1965-66), Jenna Bradley of softball (2010-11), Tara Isbell of soccer (2007-10), former men's basketball head coach Billy Kennedy (2006-11), Jackie Mounts of women's basketball (1975-79), Nick and Patrick Newcomb of men's golf (2007-10, 2009-13) and Cameron Payne of men's basketball (2013-15) and Walter Powell of football (2010-13) have been announced.
The tenth and final member of the 2020 class is Joi Scott of women's basketball.
One of the best two-year players to ever don the blue and gold, Scott scored 970 points in only two seasons and is Murray State's all-time leader in points per game at 21.1. Her 21.7 points per game in 2006-07 is the fourth best average in program history, while her 20.3 in 2005-06 is the tenth.
On February 16, 2006 at Tennessee State, Scott had one of the best individual performances in Racer history when she scored a then-record 43 points, a number that is still third all-time on the single game scoring list. The Reynoldsburg, Ohio native was 19-for-24 from the floor that night, setting a still in-tact record for most field goals in a game. The 79.1-percent performance that night in Nashville was no fluke, as Scott finished her career with a Racer record 57.0 field goal shooting percentage.
After transferring from Northern Illinois, Scott earned All-OVC honors in each of her two seasons in Murray and was named to the All-Newcomer team as a junior. At the end of her senior season, Scott became just the second Racer in program history, and first in over 20 years, to be named OVC Player of Year.
Inductions for the Murray State Hall of Fame will occur on Nov. 13, 2020.
