Former Alva Goldbug Mitchell Gale was inducted into the ACU Sports Hall of Fame during the 39th induction ceremony held on Friday, Oct. 14, at 6 p.m. at the McCaleb Conference Center in the Hunter Welcome Center on the campus of Abilene Christian University. Mitchell Gale is the all-time leading passer in ACU football history with 12,109 years from 2009-12, and when he finished his career was the all-time leading passer in Lone Star Conference history. He and the four-year starting quarterback who immediately preceded him (Billy Malone from 2005-8) each threw for more than 12,000 career yards becoming only the fourth set of consecutive four-year starting quarterbacks in NCAA history – regardless of division – to each throw for at least 12,000 career yards. Mitchell is the son of Steve and Pam Gale of Alva and grandson of Bill and JaDeanna Farris of Alva.
