The Valdosta State Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2010 was inducted on January 23, 2010. The six new inductees brings the hall membership to 67. The Hall of Fame was initiated in 1997. The new inductees included:

Nicky Balanis, Golf

As the Valdosta State golf coach from 1987 through 2000, Nicky Balanis led Valdosta State to Gulf South Conference championships in 1989, 1994, 1996, 1999 and 2000. He was named GSC Coach of the Year in each of those five seasons and led the Blazers to 10 NCAA Championship appearances. He coached 25 All-Americans and 30 All-GSC honorees and saw his team finish in the top 10 in the country on nine times, including a second-place finish in 1989.

Randy Fisher, Football

One of the Blazers’ first stars on the gridiron, Randy Fisher was a four-year starter at wide receiver between 1986 and 1989. He became the first Blazer to earn Gulf South Conference Freshman-of-the-Year honors in 1986 and earned first team All-GSC honors in each of his four years with the Blazers, just one of three players in conference history to accomplish that feat. He earned All-America honors in 1989 and currently stands fourth in VSU history in receptions, third in receiving yards and fifth in touchdowns.

Bobby McDonald, Baseball

A star on the diamond between 1996 and 1999, Bobby McDonald earned All-America status as a sophomore in 1997 while earning All-Gulf South Conference honors in 1997, 1998 and 1999. He played in 195 games during his career, starting 175 of those contests, and still owns the VSU record with 44 career home runs. He slugged a school-record 23 home runs in 1997 and finished his career with a .383 batting average. McDonald scored 137 career runs while driving in 188.

Dr. Lamar Pearson, Booster

A long time supporter of Valdosta State University and the Valdosta State Athletics Department, Dr. Lamar Pearson has spent much of his life enriching the lifes of students at VSU. He served as a professor in the Valdosta State history department for 40 years before retiring from the classroom in 2005, but not from his support of Blazer Athletics, as he is now in his 45th year supporting VSU athletics. In 2001, the Valdosta State Athletic Department named its Community Service award after him and his wife, Nancy. Dr. Pearson played baseball at Valdosta State during the 1950’s and was president of the Letterman’s Club as an underclassman.

Kim Southall, Softball

One of the school’s first stars in softball, Kim Southall was a four-year letterwinner between 1991 and 1994. She finished her career with a .320 batting average and tallied 96 runs scored, 37 doubles and 19 triples during his career. Southall drove in 99 runs during her four years while earning All-Gulf South Conference honors in 1992, 1993 and 1994.

Michael Terry, Men's Basketball

A star for the Valdosta State men’s basketball team from 1964 through 1968, Michael Terry was a four-year starter and helped lead Valdosta State to conference championships in 1966, 1967 and 1968. He averaged 12.8 points as a freshman, 11.8 as a sophomore and a team-high 18.3 points a game as a senior while leading the Blazers to a spot in the NAIA national tournament. He is sixth on the VSU career scoring list with 1,599 points and played in a school record 116 games, all of which he started.
