Joining Warring are former Panthers football players Bo Henson and Rock Perdoni, trackman Dennis Craddock and basketball player Marny Sue Richardson.
Warring was a National Junior College All-America basketball player at Ferrum before transferring to Radford, where she led the Lady Highlanders in scoring in 1982-83 and 1983-84 and was a Division II All-American.
Perdoni was a junior-college All-American at Ferrum, but he received his greatest acclaim after transferring to Georgia Tech, where he was named to eight All-America teams and was named outstanding lineman in the 1970 Sun Bowl. He also made the Yellow Jackets' ``100-Year Team.''
Henson and Richardson have had distinguished coaching careers since leaving Ferrum, Henson as head football coach at E.C. Glass High School in Lynchburg. Craddock has won 21 ACC track and field championships, 18 after going to North Carolina from Virginia.
Richardson, like Warring, received a degree from Radford. She coached volleyball, softball and gymnastics at Middlesex High School before her retirement from coaching and also served as a Virginia High School League official in basketball and volleyball.
Tickets for the ceremony, to be held at the Holiday Inn-Tanglewood at 7 p.m., can be obtained by calling the Ferrum College alumni office at 540-365-4216 by 5 p.m. Friday.
