Steve DeMeo, the head coach of the Northwest Florida State College (NWFSC) Raiders men’s basketball team, will be inducted into the Men’s Basketball Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2023, according to the Florida College System Activities Association (FCSAA).

The induction will take place during this week’s FCSAA/NJCAA Region VIII Men’s Basketball Tournament at Raider Arena.

DeMeo’s accomplishments in the basketball world span three decades and cover all levels of the college game. He led NWFSC to a national title in 2015 and was recognized as the Spalding NJCAA National Coach of the Year. The Raiders recorded an impressive six-year record of 170-27 (.863) under his direction, earning a berth in the 2017 NJCAA Final Four and advancing to the Elite Eight in 2016, 2018, and 2019.

DeMeo also guided the Raiders to five consecutive Panhandle Conference Championships from 2015 to 2019 and four FCSAA State Tournament Championships in 2015, 2016, 2018, and 2019.

Dr. Devin Stephenson, NWFSC president, expressed pride in DeMeo’s achievement, saying, “His integrity, passion, and decision-making skills make him one of the best, and this recognition is well-deserved.”
