The impact and contributions of Hammond High School's Brad Davis, Mount Hermon High School's Pam Cook-Forrest, Ruston's Williams Thomas "Tommy" Hinton, Roy E. Hoffman, Sr. of St. Aloysius, Murphy F. Guillory, Sr. of Plaisance and Delhi's William 'Billy' Calvert left a lasting impression on their communities and Louisiana.

A 1971 graduate of Hammond High, Davis was a three-year letterman in football and baseball in addition to earning a letter in basketball.

Davis' best-known accomplishments came on the football field. In 1969 and 1970, Davis rushed for 3,293 yards and 60 touchdowns en route to earning all-district, all state and all-America honors. He was named Sunkist All-American Football Most Valuable Player in 1970. That year Davis also led Hammond to the Class AAA state football championships.

Davis also excelled in the classroom. He was class president from 1967-69, a member of the National Honor Society, and graduated as valedictorian.

At LSU, Davis earned three letters and broke Billy Cannon's rushing record (2,165 yards, which is still No. 10 on the all-time list). Davis was All-SEC in 1973-1974, All-SEC Academic in 1972, and1974 and was chosen to the 1975 All-American Scholastic Team.

Davis is best remembered for catching a touchdown pass from Bert Jones with no time left against Ole Miss in 1972, giving LSU a 17-16 victory. He also helped the Tigers earn a berth in the 1974 Orange Bowl where he led LSU in rushing and receiving in a loss to Penn State.

Davis played two seasons with the Atlanta Falcons. He is already a member of the LSU Hall of Fame (1980), the LSU Academic Hall of Fame (2003) and the LSU Sports Hall of Fame.

A 1974 graduate and four-year letter winner in girls basketball at Mount Hermon, Cook-Forrest's career was highlighted by firsts. She was a four-time all-district standout (1971-74) and a two-time All-State performer (1973-74). Cook-Forrest led Mount Hermon to the 1974 Class C title. She was the team's MVP for three straight years, an all-district MVP for two years (1973-1974) and the state's Class C MVP in 1974.

Along with having the highest free-throw percentage, most steals and most rebounds for Mount Hermon, Cook-Forrest was the leading scorer in school history when her career ended. She participated in the first LHSAA Girls' Basketball All-Star Game (1974) and was named the first Miss Basketball in Louisiana that year.

Cook-Forrest was the first woman to receive an athletic scholarship to LSU, but followed her coach to Southeastern Louisiana University where she lettered for three years. During that time, she helped SLU win an AIAW Division II national championship.

While starring for Southeastern Louisiana, Cook-Forrest was selected as LAIAW MVP three years in a row, was a college All-America two years in a row, and played in the first All-America game for women.

Cook-Forrest still holds many single-game and season records at SLU and is a member of the school's Hall of Fame.
