On the front is a silver metal plaque with a Peninsula Sports Hall of Fame trophy logo in the top left and black-and-white photo in the top right. Metal is protected by a layer of clear acrylic, and both layers are attached to the wood by four decorative golden metal screws, one in each corner.

Photo is a head and shoulders portrait of a middle-aged Larry Owens. He has receding short hair, a mustache, and wears a white collared shirt. Text under logo and photo reads "LARRY OWENS / SEQUOIA HIGH SCHOOL | COLLEGE OF SAN MATEO / INDUCTED MARCH 29, 2018 / For more than a quarter century, Larry Owens was a prominent fixture as a dedicated football coach at the College of San Mateo.
