​By: Micah Morris

​On Saturday, September 12, the Broadway High School Athletic Hall of Fame welcomed its Class of 2026.  The six newest members of the Hall of Fame join the 72 others who have been enshrined for their contributions to the Broadway High School Athletic program. 
The Hall of Fame welcomed its first set of members in 2012 as a way to recognize and remember the achievements and contributions of Broadway High School players, coaches and contributors, and the Class of 2026 was no different.  Each of the newest inductees left an indelible mark on Broadway High School Athletics and their accomplishments were celebrated at a meal and ceremony in their honor.
​
Jeff Holsinger was enshrined as a contributor to the BHS Athletics program.  A BHS graduate (’74), Holsinger has served as the clock operator for Broadway Football and Boys Basketball games for 25 years.  In his estimation, Holsinger believes that he has worked over 800 contests over the course of those 25 years.  During his induction speech, Holsinger vividly recalled interactions, all positive, with former Robert E. Lee High School’s (now Staunton High School) legendary basketball coach Paul Hatcher and watching many great moments in Broadway High School history. While a student at BHS, Jeff competed on the Gobblers Track & Field, Football and Basketball teams. 

Brian Ratliff was inducted into the Hall of Fame for his accomplishments as an athlete for the Broadway Gobblers.  A multi-sport athlete, Ratliff excelled in Football, Basketball, Baseball and Golf for Broadway High School.  Ratliff earned 10 varsity letters, with multiple postseason honors and was a member of the 1997 State Runner-Up Football Team. Ratliff was introduced by BHS Basketball Coach Dwight Walton, who started his introduction with the word “average”, and ended with stating that Brian Ratliff has never done anything “average” throughout his life.  Walton shared that when he reached out to former BHS Football Coach Rod Bowers and asked him about Brian Ratliff, Coach Bowers simply said, “the Fort game”, to which Ratliff also recalled that specific game during his induction speech.  After his graduation from BHS in 1999, Ratliff played at Bridgewater College, where he was a member of the Eagles 2001 Football team that finished as the National Runner-up.  After graduating from Bridgewater, Ratliff returned to BHS as a teacher and coach from 2006-2014.

Tim Turner was inducted into the Hall of Fame for his accomplishments as the Head Baseball Coach at Broadway from 2016-2022.  Turner guided the Gobblers to 76 wins as the Gobblers Varsity Coach, including a 20-win season, which is tied for the second most season wins in school history.  Turner, who lost his battle with ALS in June of 2026, was introduced by BHS Softball Coach Becky Cantrell, who recalled Turner’s calm demeanor and his ability to relate to his players.  She shared that when speaking to some of his former players, they all recalled how Coach Turner always seemed to be there for them throughout and after their careers.  Joined by Tim’s wife, Robin, by her side, Coach Cantrell recalled when Coach Turner, shortly after his ALS diagnosis, shared that he was going to buy her State Championship softball ring, despite the fact that the Gobblers had not yet even won the State Tournament, an accomplishment that they would secure just a few shorts months later.  When Coach Cantrell was presented with her State Championship ring in October of 2025, it was Tim Turner, who was there to present the State Championship ring to her.  The ring, that much to Coach Cantrell’s chagrin, Coach Tuner had indeed paid for.  Robin Turner thanked the community for their encouragement and support through Coach Turner’s ALS battle, but reminded the crowd that Tim was “more than ALS”, that he loved the Broadway community and loved coaching the athletes of Broadway.  As the speech concluded, the crowd rose to its collective feet to remember Coach Turner and acknowledge his place as a member of the BHS Hall of Fame.

Trevor Bostic is a name that can be found throughout the BHS Record Book.  Bostic, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame for his accomplishments as an athlete, was introduced by former Broadway Football Coach Brad Lutz.  As a member of the BHS Class of 2013, Bostic holds the BHS record for single game points, most rushing TDs, most rushing yards and single season touchdowns.  An All-State Performer in 2011 and 2012, Bostic was remembered for the way he supported his teammates.  During his acceptance speech, Bostic recalled telling his parents that he needed to take his Offensive Lineman out to eat for a weekly meal, because they were the ones responsible for keeping him upright.  Coach Lutz started his introduction by remembering that Bostic was a true Student Athlete.  With a GPA over 4.3, Bostic graduated as Valedictorian of his class at BHS.

Shaylla Oswald Campbell was inducted into the Hall of Fame for her accomplishments as a player of the Gobblers Girls Soccer Team.  A member of the BHS Class of 2016, the numbers for Shaylla Oswald Campbell are incredible.  Her 80 career goals, 34 single season goals, 6 goals in a game and 8 career hat tricks are all BHS records.  The 2016 District Player of the Year also earned 1st Team All-Conference Honors four straight years and was 2nd Team All-State in 2016.  Oswald Campbell was presented with her plaque at the Football game on Friday, September 11.

Scott Stoehr was inducted into the Hall of Fame for his accomplishments as an athlete at BHS.  The 2002 graduate of BHS was a four-sport athlete, earning 12 varsity letters.  Stoehr set the single game receiving record and was an All-District football player in 2001 and 2002.  Additionally, Stoehr scored over 850 points on the hardwood for Coach Dwight Walton and was a four-year starting shortstop for the Gobblers Baseball Team, where, upon graduation, he held the career Home Run record for BHS Baseball.  Stoehr also set the school long jump record of over 21 feet and competed at the state level in three events.  Stoehr was introduced by Wayne Arbogast (BHS Hall of Fame Class of 2016) who served as a coach for Stoehr in travel ball, Little League and at BHS.  Arbogast recalled seeing the “God-given athletic potential” in Stoehr at an early age.  During his speech, Stoehr recalled how his parents never missed a moment of his competitions, and he recalled how much Broadway and being a Gobbler meant to him.  Stoehr concluded by thanking his parents and appreciated getting to share the accomplishments and the evening with his wife and kids.

The evening was an evening of celebration and remembrance.  The common theme through each presentation and induction speech was the appreciation of the Broadway Community.  Many presenters and newly elected Hall of Fame members remembered and celebrated how special of a place Broadway High School, the town of Broadway are and how this is a true community.
