The Huntsville-Madison County Athletic Hall of Fame will have 12 new members, it was officially announced Wednesday.

The hall of fame’s 2025 class includes honorees from across the Madison County area, including three players from Butler High School’s basketball program: Courtney Beasley, Bobby Lee Hurt, and Tasheika Morris.

All of the inductees will be enshrined at a banquet on Monday, April 14, at the Von Braun Center. Tickets and advertising information can be found at www.hmcahof.com.

“It’s an honor,” Beasley said. “I’m from Butler, I didn’t know I was one of a few from Butler that was in the hall of fame, like Bobby Lee Hurt. It’s a real honor to be a Hall of Fame next to Bobby Lee Hurt, which he played on the NBA and everything.”

Other inductees include longtime Sparkman coach Dale Palmer, longtime Alabama AM bowling coach Jeff McCorvey and former Lee-Huntsville football standout Dwight Scales.

“It’s a great honor,” Palmer said. “When I got the phone call, I was really shocked, because since I’ve retired, I’ve been working in another business, and I hadn’t really had time to think about anything. All of a sudden, it’s an emotional moment, because it is a big honor and a tribute to all the kids who played for me and helped us achieve the success we had.”
