Darlingtonian Roosevelt Scott is the latest addition to the Inaugural Athletic Hall of Fame at Denmark Technical College. Mr. Scott graduated in 1966 from the educational institution, which was then called the Denmark Trade School. He played for the Denmark Panthers football team for 3 years before embarking on his later life. His wife of 52 years, Mrs. Thomasena Scott, was a long-time teacher at St. John’s High School (now Darlington High School) and his son, Chevron Scott, is the Chief Magistrate for Darlington County. He is a Grand Trustee of the Elks of the World and has traveled to over 28 states as well as Barbados and the Bahamas.
The Induction Ceremony will take place at 7:00 P.M. on Friday, April 28, 2023 in the Samuel L. Faust Multicutural Center (Building 026) on the campus of Denmark Technical College (DTC), located at 1126 Solomon Blatt Blvd., Denmark, SC.
