On Friday, November 13, 2009, the Vian Field House became officially renamed the Ray Jordan Field House in honor of Coach Ray Jordan. His plaque reads, in part, "In appreciation for your service spreading Wolverine Pride - far and wide. You can't be replaced..." Coach Jordan built his life around his family and athletics. Not only did he inspire his players, but has also inspired all who have been blessed to work with him.

Coach Jordan and his family came to Vian in 1984. He served as head football coach until 1999 and continues to serve as our athletic director. He was inducted into the Oklahoma Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 1998 and the Murray State Hall of Fame in 2007.
