INDIANAPOLIS — The Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) is proud to announce that two of its staff members, Rick Tice and Jamie Halloran, have been inducted into their respective high school halls of fame.
Rick Tice — Beaver Local Alumni Hall of Fame
Rick Tice, who serves as associate commissioner overseeing conference championships and scheduling, was inducted into the Beaver Local Alumni Hall of Fame (Class of 1981) in East Liverpool, Ohio. During his prep career at Beaver Local High School, Tice earned four varsity letters in baseball and three in basketball. He went on to play baseball and serve as a student assistant basketball coach at Malone University before earning a Master of Sports Science from the United States Sports Academy. Tice served as a middle school math teacher, the 1997 Stark County Coach of the Year, Malone’s assistant athletic director, and head women’s basketball coach leading the Pioneers to a G-MAC Tournament Championship and NCAA Division II Tournament berth before joining the G-MAC executive staff in 2020.
Jamie Halloran — North Hills Hall of Fame
Jamie Halloran, assistant commissioner, was inducted into the North Hills Hall of Fame in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, this September. At North Hills High School, Halloran was a four-year starter, a two-year captain, and a 1,000-point scorer for the girls basketball team. She became the first player in SLAAM AAU program history to earn a Division II college scholarship, committing to Walsh University. Halloran played at Walsh from 2016 to 2020, capping her collegiate career being a part of the Cavaliers' back-to-back G-MAC Championships in 2019 and 2020. She now brings her firsthand student-athlete experience back to the conference office, managing conference communications operations and governance.
The leadership, resilience, and commitment to excellence displayed by both Tice and Halloran throughout their high school careers continue to make a lasting impact on the Great Midwest Athletic Conference and the student-athletes they serve every day.
