of the entire athletics program that enters him into the Hall of Fame. The longtime
owner of Baker Lumber Company, Jim was an original member of the LCC Booster Club
and not only gave his time, but gave his money as a longtime supporter. He also is
a great fan of the Red Devils.

Terry Jones
Baseball/Basketball: Lower Columbia College 1968 through 1971
Terry was a two-sport standout at LCC where he excelled as a shortstop for the Red
Devil baseball team and was an ultra-quick guard on the Devil basketball squad from
1968-71. He was a key member of the LCC baseball team that won the school’s first
conference championship in 1970. He signed to play professional baseball with the
Philadelphia Phillies where he made it all the way to AAA ball. Jones was one of the
basketball signees of Don Porter who ushered in a new era of talent to the LCC program.
Terry helped the Red Devils all the way to the NWAC championship game, where the Devils
lost an epic overtime game with Peninsula.
Tim Mackin
Softball Coach: Lower Columbia College 1994 through 2008
Tim is the winningest softball coach in NWAC history. Tim took the Red Devils to dominating
heights between 1994 and 2008. Under Mackin, LCC won 10 NWAC Championships including
six straight and nine out of 10. Mackin collected over 600 wins as the Red Devil head
coach. A native of Vancouver, Mackin made a name for himself in the softball world
as a top national player on several teams. He was then selected by the legendary Eddie
“King” Feigner to travel the world as part of the four-man King and His Court from
1983 to 1988.
Michelle (DeVries) Mury
Volleyball/Basketball: Lower Columbia College 1985 through 1986
Michelle was a two-sport athlete at Lower Columbia College where she was a standout
in basketball and volleyball. It was a knee injury while chasing a ball out of bounds
in the 1986 season that ended her athletic stint at LCC, but she went on to greatness
in another sport at the next level. Michelle graduated from Kelso High School in 1985,
a three sport athlete who always had skill to go along with determination. That resolve
was tested with her injury at LCC. She then attended Seattle Pacific University in
Seattle where she turned out for track and field. Under the tutelage of Olympic and
SPU coach Ken Foreman, Mury went on to capture the 1990 NCAA Division II javelin championship
and All-American honors.
