Where the Game Lives On
Welcome to the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame
It’s the thrill of the game that has fans coming back for more. But it’s the love of the game that pushes athletes to get better. They get up before the sun rises to do football drills, they perfect their curveball pitch long after the sun goes down—and they never stop believing their dream can come true. It’s that dedication that has earned them a spot in the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame, and for some a spot on our Legends Walk of Fame.
The Missouri Sports Hall of Fame welcomes you to celebrate the careers of these sports role models and relive the greatest moments in Missouri sports history. Find your favorite player, coach or team on our site, or come to the museum where we have 4,000 items of sports memorabilia and hands-on exhibits. You can feel the speed as you race in the NASCAR simulator, hit your own home run in the batters box against a Major League Baseball pitcher or throw the winning touchdown pass in our football exhibit. Are you ready to play, the ball is in your court!

Spring Sports Luncheon - Lisa Law:
Law coached softball at Iberia High School in mid-Missouri for 33 seasons (1983-2017), and the field was named in her honor in 2017. She also is in her 37th and final year as athletic director. Her softball teams were 413-215 and advanced to 16 district championship games, winning 10 of them. Her 2015 team made history as Iberia’s first to reach the Final Four and eventually finished with a fourth-place trophy. Along the way, Law was named conference Coach of the Year eight times. It was quite a run for Law, who began her coaching career in the early 1980s at Iberia. Her first coaching job started with only having seven players on the team, with little equipment and a field full of rocks. They ended the season with a 2-4 record. With high hopes and dreams of winning a district championship, her teams fought hard to build a program. Within the first four years, she saw her team win their first district championship game. During her time as athletic director, 10 other teams earned Final Four finishes (five in baseball, three in boys basketball, one in boys golf, one in softball), with the baseball team twice winning state championships. Years earlier, in the 1970s, Law had played for Silex High School before graduating from there. Her Silex team was the first to win a district championship and, in 1977, advanced to the state playoffs.

One of the top high school soccer coaches in Missouri can be found in the Springfield area.

That covers 33 boys seasons (580-246-45) and 22 girls seasons (358-139-27). And he may not be done, even after leading Springfield Catholic High School boys team to the 2025 state championship. A Colorado native, his 580 wins in boys soccer are sixth-most in state history and his 358 wins in girls soccer are 12th best. He coached Kickapoo High School boys teams for 16 seasons and its girls teams for 11 years, and then led the Ozark Tigers (13 boys seasons, 11 girls seasons) before taking over Springfield Catholic in 2022. Three of his other teams earned state fourth-place finishes, with Kickapoo’s boys (1996) and Kickapoo’s girls (2002) and the 2023 Catholic boys earning hardware. His teams also combined for 20 district titles. A Colorado native who was All-State in soccer, he played at Missouri Southern from 1984 to 1988 and was an assistant coach there for three seasons before joining the high school coaching ranks.

He set a school record in winning the state title in the 880-yard run at Central and set an indoor state record in the 880. He was a track participant four years at Mizzou, graduating with honors from both CHS and MU. He coached junior high track eight years and was Parkview’s track coach 31 seasons. He organized a new track program at Drury University, assisted five more years at Kickapoo High and spent recent years coaching at Greenwood Laboratory. He coached teams to three city junior high football titles, three seventh-grade basketball titles and four city track championships. He had 54 athletes claim All-State track honors at Parkview. His Parkview boys teams won five conference crowns, and his girls teams won five consecutive league titles.
