Marvin Delph, ‘74 Delph helped the Wampus Cats win state AAA basketball championships in 1973 and 1974. He was voted state tournament MVP both years. Delph attended the University of Arkansas, where he joined Sidney Moncrief and Ron Brewer as they became known as the famed “Triplets,” leading the Hogs to back-to-back Southwest Conference championships and the 1978 NCAA Final Four. While at Arkansas, Delph was known for his leaping ability, coolness under pressure and outstanding shooting skill from long range. Delph led the Razorbacks in scoring in 1976 and 1977. Sports Illustrated featured Delph in 1977, along with Larry Bird and Phil Ford, in an article titled “Hottest of the Hot Shots.” Delph finished his career at Arkansas as the school’s all-time leading scorer. His 1,742 points still rank seventh in that category, even though he played before the three-point line was adopted. Named second-team All-SWC in 1976, Delph earned first-team All-SWC honors in 1977 and 1978. He was also a Converse and Sporting News All-American in 1978. Delph was drafted into the NBA in 1978 by the Buffalo Braves and in 1979 by the Boston Celtics. However, he did not play in the NBA, opting to play internationally with Athletes in Action, a Christian-based team out of California. He has been inducted into the University of Arkansas Sports Hall of Honor, the SWC Hall of Fame and the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame. In 1999, Delph was selected by Sports Illustrated as one of Arkansas’ 50 Greatest Sports Figures of the 20th Century. Henry Hawk, ‘56 Hawk won the Frank E. Robins Award for outstanding senior athlete in 1956. He was named all-state in football and basketball, as well as excelling at track for the Wampus Cats. Hawk was also an outstanding Golden Gloves amateur boxer. He continued his athletic career at the University of Central Arkansas, earning all All-AlC honors in both football and track. Hawk received the inaugural L.B. Jackman Award for outstanding player in UCA’s homecoming game. In 1959, he was named a football 1st team AP Little All-American. That year, he was nationally ranked in total offense and scoring. He was selected to play in the All-American Bowl in Tucson, Arizona. Hawk signed a contract with the Canadian Football League, but returned to Arkansas to start a coaching career that lasted two decades. As head coach at North Little Rock High, he led them to a football state championship in 1972. Hawk has been a world-class distance runner for decades, in multiple events from 800 meters to 50 miles. He participated in ten straight Boston Marathons. He has won dozens of national titles over the years. In 1998, Hawk set a world record in the 60-64 age division when he ran a 5:13.38 in the 1,600 meters. His training and exercise programs have been nationally recognized, and he has served on the Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness. Hawk has been inducted into seven halls of fame, including the UCA Sports Hall of Fame, the Arkansas Track & Field Hall of Fame and the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame.
