Rows 3 and 8 — The state halls: four hall cities, an empty roll at residency strength, and the Penn-pipeline roll

AS OF NOVEMBER 2026 · THE HONESTY NOTE IS PART OF THE ITEM

Indiana seats its halls in other people's cities, and every one of the four is another city's whole; Granger's roll is drawn first at the strength the register demands — residency — and it is empty at that strength, before the boundary roll is printed at the size it earns: The four state halls are the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame (New Castle), the Indiana Football Hall of Fame (Richmond), the Indiana Track & Field and Cross Country Hall of Fame Museum (Terre Haute) and the Indiana Baseball Hall of Fame (Jasper, at Vincennes University's Jasper campus, its inductees chosen by the Indiana High School Baseball Coaches Association). At residency strength — a Granger resident inducted — the combined roll of all four halls is empty: no inductee of any of the four is a Granger resident in the records reached, and the Track hall's own recent classes were read whole to test it (the 2024 class of 25 and the 2026 class of 21 carry no Penn or Granger name; the museum counts 561 inductees through 2024, at its seat at 5353 East Margaret Drive, Terre Haute, organized 1974, museum opened October 22, 2011). One name crosses between the national and state rolls: Ara Parseghian is named among the Indiana Football Hall of Fame's inductees in the hall's own record as carried by the Pro Football Researchers' Coffin Corner (vol. 17, no. 1, 1995) — his tie to Granger is resident, his Indiana football Notre Dame's, and the name is printed here at that strength and no stronger.

The boundary roll — Penn-pipeline figures, whose tie is coached-at-Penn or played-at-Penn, in a high school seated in Mishawaka that this ground's children attend — is printed at boundary size and never as Granger's: Basketball (New Castle): Al Rhodes, inducted 2010 — Penn's head coach for 15 seasons (239-128) within a 42-season career of 693-320, with a state championship at Warsaw in 1984 (PHM's own media notes and its October 2023 court-naming release). One distinction is printed because the register requires it: Andrew Laird of Penn's 2001 state runner-up team was named to the Hall's 2026 Men's Silver Anniversary Team (PHM's The Pennant) — an anniversary honor team, not an induction, and not counted as one. Two traps were tested and excluded: Jaraan Cornell (64th class, announced November 25, 2025) is South Bend Clay High School's — Clay High School stands in South Bend, not Clay Township — and LeRoy Johnson (63rd class, 2025) is Mishawaka High School's. Football (Richmond): the hall itself was founded in January 1973 as an Indiana Football Coaches Association affiliate, bought the former U.S. Post Office at 815 North A Street in July 1974 for $98,000, and — its own history records — closed its physical museum and sold the building in December 2021, continuing as an organization without its building: the one true rise-and-leaving course in this section, and it is Richmond's. Its Penn roll: Chris Geesman (309 wins; "Hall of Famer" throughout PHM's record); Cory Yeoman, Penn's head coach 2003–2023 (208-56) after 19 years as Geesman's assistant — PHM's February 8, 2024 retirement release records his induction and calls him "the first Penn player nominated for the Hall"; Dr. A. Dean Speicher, inducted 2018 — PHM superintendent 1971–1992, the man who hired Geesman in 1973 (PHM, October 6, 2025); and Bryan Mattison and Dr. Michael Pinter (Penn offensive lineman), among six area inductees the South Bend Tribune recorded for the hall's June 12, 2026 honors at St. Hedwig's, South Bend. Baseball (Jasper): Greg Dikos, inducted 2011 — 839-298 in 37 seasons at Penn with six state championships (1994, 1998, 2001, 2015, 2022, 2023), per PHM's releases and the district's media notes.

The honesty note, printed as part of the item: the state halls' own online rosters are partial; the names above rest on the halls' own published histories and on the district's own record as reached (PHM's releases of February 2024, October 2023, October 2025 and July 2024, and the Tribune of June 11, 2026), not on a complete roster pull from any hall. The settler for a stronger enumeration is each hall's own full inductee roster, held at New Castle, Richmond, Terre Haute and Jasper respectively. The residency-strength finding does not depend on that caveat: it is empty on every record reached, partial or whole.
