Jim Hennen to be inducted into Ada Borup West Hall of Fame

This Saturday, former Golden Gopher Football player, and Ada Alumni Jim Hennen will be one of the four individuals inducted into the Ada Borup West Hall of Fame. R&J News had the opportunity to catch up with Hennen, who says it was a big surprise to be nominated. 

Hennen was a starter on the Ada football team from 1959 to 1961, where he was coached by fellow Hall of Famer Les Drechsel. Hannen talks more on what it was like to be coached by Drechsel. 

One of the best memories from Hennen’s playing career at Ada was his teammates, and he highlights some of the players he shared the field with. 

You can listen to the full interview with Jim Hennen, and other 2025 Ada Borup West Hall of Fame inductees on KRJB 106.5 FM this Friday. The Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place on Saturday at 1:00 in the Ada Borup West auditorium.
