Not in Hall of Fame If it's not in the Hall of Fame, it's at Not in Hall of Fame

2023 Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame - Round 1

Ollie

TV Show/Movie Appeared: Hoosiers (1986)
Actor/Actress: Wade Schenk
Position Portrayed: Benchwarmer
Played For:: Hickory High
Why you should vote:: Those might have been the most dramatic Free Throws in Fictional film history.
Why you should not vote:: How much does a benchwarmer earn a Hall of Fame slot?
Jimmy Chitwood may be the one who gets the votes here on the Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame, but it was the pint sized Ollie who may have had the most memorable scene in the film where he sank two free throws to win a pivotal game. Watching his nerves in a hostile environment (shooting underhand no less) stuck out far more than any shot Chitwood made. He couldn’t have been more than 5’5’’ but he was proof of the team dynamic and focus on fundamentals that Coach Norman Dale taught small Hickory High.
