The Arkansas High School Coaches Association (AHSCA), the Arkansas Officials Association (AOA), and the Arkansas High School Athletic Administrators Association (AHSAAA) have announced their inductees for the 2022 Hall of Fame.
One inductee is the former Wickes basketball coach Lendall Martin, who served as the superintendent of the Cossatot River School District before his resignation at the end of the 2021 school year.

Martin coached his last game as part of the 2004 All-Star Games in the Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville.
