Former South Kitsap athletes Ryan Cole and Mac Morrison have been selected as members of the 2016 Kitsap Sports Hall of Fame inductee class for their accomplishments in football.

Morrison and Cole will attend the banquet honoring Kitsap’s best athletes and take their place among the county’s other sports legends.

Cole was a two-time All-State running back for the Wolves. He has the two highest rushing seasons in West Sound history: 2,190 yards in 2000 and 2,357 as senior in 2001. He went on to play collegiately at Oregon State and Eastern Washington.

Morrison was a linebacker with South Kitsap and a junior on the Wolves’ state championship football team in 1994. Heavily recruited, he chose to play for Joe Paterno at Penn State. He was a second-team All-Big Ten selection in 1998-99.

The annual banquet will take place Jan. 28 at the Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo. This year, the Kitsap Athletic Roundtable has selected 11 individuals and two teams to induct into the 2016 class.

Chairman Dan Haas said the Roundtable originally wanted 10 individuals and one team in the class, but after everyone voted, 11 individuals and two teams made the cut.

“We have a broad-based approach by a large group using input to decide who is inducted into the class,” Haas said. “I thought it was a really objective process to use, and it worked well for us.”

In addition to Cole and Morrison, the other 2016 Kitsap Sports Hall of Fame inductees are:

Ryan Villopoto — Supercross champion, Poulsbo

Villopoto is a four-time supercross champion and two-time motocross champion. He’s fifth on the supercross career wins list at 40, and and one of only four people to win four straight supercross titles.

Madlin played on the 1947-49 Bremerton football teams. Madlin started as a sophomore and gained 590 yards on the 1947 Bremerton team that went unbeaten and won the state championship, 19-14 over Ballard. The 82-year-old inductee was named All-State, All-Pacific Coast and All-American by Wigwam Wiseman of America.
