Mr. Randy Eaton has been selected for induction into the Potosi Trojan Hall of Fame for the class of 2021-22.  Mr. Eaton is a 1967 graduate of Potosi High School.

While in school he was very involved in extracurricular activities including: basketball, track, football, student council, junior class president, FTA, letterman’s club, choir and glee club.  He was the record holder for rushing and passing when he graduated, as well as for the 60 yard dash at that time.

After graduating, Mr. Eaton has stayed very involved in the Potosi community as well as the school district.  He has been involved with the Elks Christmas Charity for over 50 years and piloted the Backpack program in 2013 to feed children in need throughout the county.  He has served as a volunteer firefighter for 61 years and served on the board of directors from 1974-2004.  While serving as the Chairman of the Board on the Board of Directors at the Potosi Fire Protection District, he was instrumental in building additional fire stations in outlying areas. Washington County residents were unable to secure affordable fire insurance due to the insurance rating (their home was too far away from a fire station). He was committed to providing affordable home insurance to everyone in the community.

Mr. Randy Eaton will be joining his sons Jason Eaton (1st Team All State Football 1989) and Ryan Eaton (member of the 1996 state championship baseball team) in the Hall of Fame.
