Hugh, Sr. served as the university's public relations director in the 1960s, while also taking on the duties as sports information director.
He hosted the Abe Lemons Show on television for several years and also served as the "Voice of the Chiefs," doing radio broadcasts of OCU basketball games. In the late 1970s, Scott came up with the idea for the OCU Athletic Hall of Fame and was appointed the first curator of the Hall of Fame by then president Jerald Walker.
His son Hugh Scott Jr. represented he and his wife Virginia at their induction ceremony on Nov. 5, 2004. The Scotts were inducted into the Hall of Fame posthumously for meritorious service in their contributions to OCU athletics.
“Hugh and Virginia served this university for many years,” said former OCU athletics director Bud Sahmaunt, who introduced and spoke in tribute of the Scotts. “They were loyal employees, loyal graduates and loyal supporters.”
