TIVERTON — Eight athletes, a coach and an entire team will be inducted into the Tiverton Athletic Hall of Fame in ceremonies Nov. 5 at McGovern’s Restaurant on Shove Street in Fall River at 7 p.m.

Athletes selected for the Hall’s Class of 2015 are:

Entering the Hall as a coach will be Jim Cook Jr. the boys soccer coach who started the soccer program at THS in 1972 and coached until 1988 compiling 162 wins and many championships.  In addition, Jim served the school’s athletic program for many years as an athletic director, girls head softball coach and assistant basketball coach.

Inducted Team: The 1969 baseball team was Open Division runner-up for the state championship, an amazing accomplishment considering it was the first year Tiverton High School had a senior class.

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
