A local radio icon has been honored by the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association.
Damon Ryan was inducted into the WBCA Hall of Fame during a ceremony at the Glazier Canyon Lodge of the Wilderness Resort in Wisconsin Dells.
Damon has been calling the Manitowoc Lincoln Ships Basketball games since 1977, which is when he moved to the Manitowoc area and began working at WOMT Radio.
Ryan has also called nearly every Ships football game in that time as well and was added to the Wall of Fame in the JFK Fieldhouse at the school in 2018.
Other inductees to the WBCA Hall of Fame with Manitowoc ties include Coaches Brian Shaw, Mark Christensen, John Jung, John Stelzer, and James Kersten, and Official Tom Frieder.
Two Rivers Coaches Warren Otto, Bill Wood, Edward Hall and James Wegner are also members of the prestigious group.
