JM Living Legend Alumni, David Kyle, Donates Football Trophy Room to the New
Athletic Training Facility.
The 1/2" glass doors came from the former Jim Thorpe Museum & Hall of Fame on Lincoln
as it was moving downtown. The large trophy cases were custom made by Reid manufacturing in OKC. The entry to the Terry Harris Athletic Training Facility highlights
the awesome football history of John Marshall, especially the championships.
We are currently looking for additional pictures, stories and memorabilia to add
to the historical data on display.
