In this episode of the “Living in McKenzie County Podcast,” host Vawnita Best chats with guests Marco Pelton, Beau Wisness, and Brad Foss in a discussion about the Watford City High School Hall of Fame in the second part of a two episode series. They recognize the athletes, coaches, and community members who have shaped the rich sports history of Watford City.
The group reveals the Watford City High School Hall of Fame Class of 2026 and explains the public nomination and committee voting process guided by bylaws, as well as challenges in evaluating earlier eras with limited records. The 2026 inductees include two teams, two coaches, and individual inductees. The 2026 class will be honored later this year during Homecoming Week on October 9.
