Carson High School (CHS) is pleased to announce the formation of a joint Men's and Women's Basketball Hall of Fame that will induct its inaugural class in a ceremony October 14, 2023, planned at the banquet hall at the Governor's Mansion.
The Hall of Fame will be named in honor of Dick Stoddard, a former CHS basketball player who passed on October 20th, 1997, at the age of 25 after a 12-year battle with cancer.
