The National High School Football Hall of Fame inducted its inaugural class in Canton, Ohio.

Canton, Ohio already houses the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Now it's added the National High School Football Hall of Fame, celebrating where NFL legends began their journeys.

The inaugural class of 23 included Archie Griffin, Ted Ginn Sr., Peyton and Eli Manning, and the late Jim Brown. Ted Ginn Sr.'s Glenville High School in Cleveland won the first Ohio state championship for any metropolitan Cleveland school—a moment that earned thunderous applause at the induction ceremony.
