Class:
1988

The sixth-leading scorer in Richmond men's basketball history with 1,604 total points, Peter Woolfolk was honored as an individual inductee and joined his 1988 teammates in the Hall of Fame Class of 2006 Team of Distinction. Woolfolk, the leading scorer for the 1988 Sweet Sixteen squad, ranked 10th on the Spiders' all-time single-season scoring list with 587 points in 1988. His 859 career rebounds rank fourth all-time at Richmond. He also ranks in Richmond annals in single-season field goal percentage (56.1), single-season field goals made (235), career field goals made (666), single-game rebounds (20) and single-season rebounds (294). The 1987-88 season is fondly remembered by Spider hoops fans, and Woolfolk's name reigns supreme helping Richmond to its first-ever NCAA Sweet Sixteen. Woolfolk, who resides in Richmond, played perhaps his best game ever in the second round of the NCAA Tournament against Georgia Tech. The forward poured in a game-high 27 points, going 11-of-21 from the field, while grabbing nine rebounds en route to a 59-55 win over the Yellow Jackets to help secure a berth in the NCAA's Sweet Sixteen.
