Fell, Class of 1973, is being inducted as an athlete. A four-year starter for the Franklin men's basketball team under head coach Ed. Thompson, Fell played in 92 games for the Grizzlies during his time with the blue and gold. Fell averaged 14.9 points per game and shot 42.4% from the field while helping Franklin to the NAIA District Tournament in both 1971 and in 1973.
 
His senior year saw him lead Franklin with 21 points per game on 48.6% shooting from the floor and 87.0% from the free throw line.

Dawn (Privette) McNew

McNew, Class of 1987, is being inducted as an athlete. McNew was three-sport star for the Grizzlies, playing vital roles as a member of the women's basketball, softball and field hockey teams at Franklin. On the field hockey pitch, she closed her career with a 12-goal senior season and a selection as an NAIA All-District Honorable Mention selection.

She would join some elite company as a senior, becoming the second player in program history to hand out at least 100 assists in a season and still ranks second for a single season with 103 helpers.
 
She was also a four-year starter for the softball team, playing centerfield and leading off for the Grizzlies in all four years. She helped Franklin qualify for the NAIA District Playoffs in all four years, culminating with a runner-up finish her senior year.
