PRINCETON ? Armond Hill '85 has won induction into the New York City Basketball Hall of Fame, the organization recently announced.

Induction will take place Sept. 24 at the New York Athletic Club. Honorees come from those who played high school or college basketball in New York City, and Hill is an alumnus of Bishop Ford Central Catholic High School in Brooklyn.

Hill, a two-time first-team All-Ivy League honoree and the 1976 Ivy League Player of the Year, returned to Princeton to complete his degree in 1985 after his professional basketball career.
