STEPHENVILLE – Two former Texan football players, a former men's basketball star, an entire women's basketball team and a distinguished Tarleton athletic devotee highlight the Tarleton Athletic Hall of Fame's class of 2013.
 
J.W. Boren (football), Krayles Banks (football), Tracy Guy (men's basketball), the 1991-92 women's basketball team and David Tomlinson (athletic booster) will all be inducted this coming June 1, 2013, during Tarleton's Athletic Hall of Fame weekend.
 
Boren was a four-time all-Lone Star Conference selection as a placekicker for the Texans, earning second-team honors as a freshman before being named a first-team selection his final three years as a Texan. Boren still owns the LSC record with 59 career field goals made. The Stephenville native owns the school record for field goals made in a game (5) and ranks second in school history with 17 field goals made during his senior season in 2002. During his senior campaign with the Texans, Boren finished third in the LSC in scoring with 90 points, which also ranks tied for third in school history. He earned NCAA all-America honors in 2000 and 2002.
 
Banks, a defensive back while playing at Tarleton, was a member of the Texan football squad from 1975 to 1978 where he helped lead the Texans to its first-ever TIAA conference championship in 1977. Banks and the Texans went onto win another TIAA conference championship during his senior season in 1978. Banks finished the 1978 season with more than 20 tackles (14 solo). He has six pass break-ups and recovered a fumble as well.
 
Guy scored 953 points in two seasons for the Texans and helped lead Tarleton to back-to-back TIAA conference championships during the 1988-89 and 1989-90 seasons. He made 247 field goals in his career, with 210 of those coming from beyond the three-point line. He made 122 three-pointers during his senior season at Tarleton, which ranks as the second most for a single-season in school history. Guy set a school record with 10 three-pointers made in a single-game against Paul Quinn back on Dec. 5, 1988 – a record he still owns with two other former Texan players. Running the offense for the Texans, Guy finished his career with 309 assists, which ranks fifth-most all-time in school history.
 
The 1991-92 TexAnn basketball team, coached by Jan Lowrey, finished the season 30-8 overall with a District VIII mark of 8-0. The team then went 2-0 in the District VIII playoffs before going 3-1 in the NAIA Division II National Tournament where the TexAnns finished national runners-up to Northern State College of South Dakota. Tarleton opened the season ranked seventh in the nation and would move up to as high as fourth before finishing the season ranked second overall in Division II.
