Wes Martin named to Hall of Fame at Morehead State

MOREHEAD — Three individuals who made a lasting impact during and after their Morehead State careers will be inducted into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame this fall.
The 2012 class includes golf standout and former George Rogers Clark boys golf coach Wes Martin, All-Ohio Valley Conference football tackle Ernie DeCourley and baseball record holder Charlie Adkins.
The trio will be inducted during a banquet on Oct. 26 and recognized during the homecoming football game on Oct. 27.
Martin was a member of MSU’s first OVC golf championship team in 1973. He fired a 212 at the league tournament that year and finished as the runner-up only to teammate and fellow Athletic Hall of Famer Eddie Mudd. He was named All-OVC in 1972 and 1973. Playing for Head Coach Ed Bignon, Martin and his teammates never lost a dual meet, and the Eagles won the 1972 Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference crown.
Martin went on to a professional career. He played in a number of PGA Tour events and more recently participated in Web.com Tour events where he posted two top-25 finishes.
Martin’s brother Wayne is a former men’s basketball coach at MSU and a member of the Hall of Fame. Wes’ son Brad is currently a sophomore on the MSU golf team.
