KNOXVILLE — Gloria Deathridge will be inducted into the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame when it honors its 2020 inductees on July 21.
The 39th annual ceremony will be held virtually and aired on WBXX-TV.
Deathridge, formerly Gloria Scott, played basketball for the Lady Vols between 1971-74 after a stellar high school career at Bradley Central High School in Cleveland.
She was a part of a high school state championship at the school in 1970 and was inducted into the Greater Chattanooga Sports Hall of Fame earlier this year.
She began her college career in Knoxville under head coach Margaret Hutson at a time when the Lady Vols recruited the majority of their players after they got to campus.
Deathridge is currently a member of the Knox County Schools Board of Education.
