NATCHITOCHES – The 13-member N-Club Hall of Fame class of 2025 will add another bullet point to its collective resume Saturday.
 
The inductees have been named the Exchange Bank and Trust Demon Greats of the Game for the 6 p.m. Homecoming kickoff against East Texas A&M.
 
The group will be inducted into the school's athletic shrine in a 10 a.m. ceremony Saturday at Magale Recital Hall on the Northwestern State campus with a reception honoring them starting at 9 a.m.
 
Four-time All-American javelin thrower Cody Fillinich tops a class that spans seven Northwestern sports – two of which have three members earning enshrinement.
 
Three Demon men's basketball players who helped the program collect NCAA Tournament victories – Josh Hancock, Tyrone Mitchell and Jermaine Wallace -- are headed into the Hall. Mitchell and Wallace were teammates on the Demons of Destiny – the 2005-06 Northwestern squad that upset third-seeded Iowa on Wallace's last-second 3-pointer in a moment that lives on in March Madness lore.
 
Three football players – punter Mike Crow, running back Derrick Johnsese and wide receiver Toby Zeigler – will be enshrined as well. Joining those seven are softball pitcher Amanda Glenn and coach Gay McNutt, women's basketball's Amanda Bennett, soccer's Heather Penico and baseball's David Reynolds. Layne Miller, a fixture around Northwestern athletics and tailgates, will be honored with the Distinguished Service Award.
 
The Exchange Bank and Trust Demon Great of the Game program is in its second decade of honoring former Northwestern State student-athletes and staff members. Exchange Bank and Trust has been a key supporter of NSU Athletics throughout its long history as the oldest financial institution in Louisiana.
