          The two Appels are mother and son. Shana Appel played Basketball, Volleyball, and Track. Although FHS did not have a swim team at the time, she was an avid swimmer. Shana swam and dove for Oklahoma State. Her son, Jaxson was a memorable football player and ran track. He attended Texas A&M University on a football scholarship.

          All friends, players and coaches of the inductees are invited to attend. All past inductees are also encouraged to join this year’s inductees at the recognition.
          The Hall of Honor has been the dream of athletic director Steve Van Meter for many years. It is located in the Walter D. Wilson Field House where it will continue to grow each year with additional members. The first induction was on October 4, 2002. The wall is divided into three categories: athletes, coaches and supporters. To recognize and honor these individuals, FISD and FHS will induct the Hall of Honor members during halftime events at the Varsity Mustang home game and host a reception in the field house before the game.
