It’s unclear if the Buffalo Bills will pay free agent cornerback Stephon Gilmore this NFL offseason.

But Gilmore is still very much respected back home and in May he’ll join the York County Sports Hall of Fame as part of a five-man 2017 induction class.

Another active NFL player, Fort Mill High grad Vance Walker, is included in the group, as is Cookie Massey, a three-sport star at Northwestern High School that may be one of the city’s greatest all-around athletes. Two athletes from the western part of the county, York Comprehensive alums Taylor Cook - a golf standout - and Josh Davis, another NFL player, round out the 2017 class.

The 2017 Hall of Fame Induction ceremony will be held May 16 at the Hood Center (375 S. Anderson Rd.) beginning at 5:30 p.m. The ceremony will recognize the five new inductees and tickets are $25 and go on sale in March. They can be purchased at the Rock Hill/York County Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) located inside the Hood Center. Sponsorships are available by calling Todd Lumpkin at 803-517-2475.
