closeNorth Carolina basketball coach Roy Williams will be adding another Hall of Fame plaque to his trophy collection.
Williams, enshrined in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame last year, is among eight accomplished sportsmen who will be inducted in the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame at a spring banquet in Raleigh.
The other honorees are Tom Butters, Leo Hart, Richard Childress, Bill Hensley, Ken Huff, Jack Jensen and Curly Neal.

Butters gained acclaim as Duke's athletic director. Hart was a record-setting Blue Devils quarterback.
Childress made his mark in stock car racing; Huff in football at UNC and in the NFL; Jensen as a basketball and golf coach at Guilford College; Neal as a Harlem Globetrotter; and Hensley as a long-time sports promoter.
The addition of those eight -- which brings the Hall of Fame membership to 252 -- will be May 15 at the North Raleigh Hilton.
