DURHAM - Shavlik Randolph followed Pete Maravich's path from Broughton High School to the NBA, and tonight he'll join Pistol Pete in Broughton's athletic hall of fame.

The Raleigh high school will honor Randolph, one of six inductees, at a ceremony tonight at Holliday Gymnasium. Randolph is in the Triangle with the Philadelphia 76ers, who are holding their training camp at Duke.

Randolph graduated from Broughton in 2002 as the Caps' all-time leader in scoring and rebounding.

As a junior, Randolph broke Maravich's game record by scoring 50 points in one contest. Randolph was a McDonald's All-American in 2002.

"It really makes you think back to all the times I was in the gym by myself and I dreamed about a day like this," Randolph said. "It lets me know that all my work paid off."

Randolph played three seasons at Duke before jumping to the NBA in 2005. Undrafted, he made the Sixers as a free agent and played in 57 games in 2005-06. He started six of Philadelphia's first 13 games last season before fracturing his left ankle in practice in November. He missed the remainder of the season.

Randolph said he's about 80 percent ready for the Sixers' training camp, which will be held at Duke through Sunday.

"I feel good," said Randolph, who turns 24 next month. "I've been playing every day. I'm just trying to make sure I don't have any setbacks."

Earl Johnson, Joe Kalkhurst, Lindsay Stoecker, Jesse Williams and Allan and Patti Head will join Randolph in the fifth class in Broughton's hall of fame.
