[[In-content Ad]]Andy Richmond
1966-70
Basketball
The Lynchburg-Clay School District was formed in 1966, and Andy Richmond was instrumental in putting the Mustangs on the map athletically. While Andy participated in cross-country, track, baseball and volleyball, it was in basketball that he was most dominant. In 1967, Andy started three tournament games as a freshman and was instrumental in Lynchburg-Clay winning their first-ever sectional championship. He would go on to start for the varsity Mustangs for the next three years. During those years, he accumulated 1,361 points, which was the school record until 1993 (and is still second-most all-time). He also grabbed 940 rebounds during his career, which is still the Lynchburg-Clay career record. He set the single-game scoring record with 43 points vs. Eastern on Feb. 13, 1970 (it has since been broken), and he set the school single-game record with 28 rebounds vs. Fayetteville on Nov. 22, 1969 (which still stands). His career averages were 20.6 points per game and 14.2 rebounds per game. In 1969, he led the Mustangs to the Highland County League Championship, was named to the Seaman Christmas Invitational All-Tournament Team and was named All-Ohio.
During his basketball career, Andy received scholarship offers from numerous colleges, including a call from Joe B. Hall and the University of Kentucky, but chose to enroll at Gulf Coast Community College in Panama City, Fla. upon graduation from Lynchburg-Clay. He returned from Florida and lived in the Highland County area until his death on July 5, 1990. He is survived by his four children and eight grandchildren: Toni Richmond and her children Ryan and Cheyenne; Traci Fittro and her husband John and their children Alec, Morgan, and Zoe; Chad Richmond and wife Nicole and their children Noah and Morgan; and Heath and his daughter Grace.

Terry McGinnis
Community Member and Athletic Supporter
In 1978, Terry McGinnis and his wife Janie bought what would become Terry's Grocery. Since then, Terry has been instrumental in supporting the youth within the Lynchburg-Clay School District. He has sponsored countless youth teams in peewee basketball, little league baseball and SAY soccer. In 1999, Terry’s generosity led to the formation of Hoagie Day. On the third Thursday of every month, Terry donates the money for every hoagie sold to the Lynchburg-Clay Athletic Boosters. The money raised has been used to furnish the weight room in the field house and purchase warmups for basketball teams and equipment for high school teams. It has also been used for scholarships for Lynchburg-Clay graduates. Since 1999, Terry McGinnis has given approximately $93,000 to Lynchburg-Clay through Hoagie Day. Overall, he has given over $150,000 to the Lynchburg-Clay Athletic Program. Over the past 33 years, every Lynchburg-Clay Athlete has benefited from Terry’s generosity in some way or another.
