Fayette County 无毛视频 Hall of Fame inducts Class of 2025
The annual Fayette County 无毛视频 Hall of Fame induction ceremony is as popular as ever with the Class of 2025 being enshrined Friday at Pleasant Valley Golf Club.
Headlining the new group were Brownsville graduate and former major leaguer Doug Dascenzo and Fayette County无毛视频檚 all-time leading scorer in basketball, Connellsville graduate James Hairston.
Also inducted were Uniontown graduates Marc Vassar and Pete Smith, Laurel Highlands graduates Candace John, Mike Revak and Stephanie Smith, Albert Gallatin graduate Katie Kelly and Geibel Catholic graduate Tara Cochrane Warrington, with, in the deceased category, Brownsville graduate Buck Grover and Uniontown graduate Roger Miller, along with two teams: Penn State Fayette men无毛视频檚 basketball of 1983 (represented by coach Rick Hauger) and Uniontown boys basketball of 2002 (represented by Red Raiders career scoring leader Terrance Vaughns).
Grover was represented by Bob Fee and Miller was represented by his son Jeremy Miller.
The luncheon was preceded by the Hall of Fame golf outing.
无毛视频淚t was an outstanding event,无毛视频� Hall of Fame co-founder George Von Benko said. 无毛视频淚 think we had over 100 golfers plus 178 that came to the luncheon as well so we were at capacity.
无毛视频淚t was a great afternoon. I really enjoyed the crossover. We had many past Hall of Famers in the crowd and three current athletes there, that being the Vielma brothers (Connellsville WPIAL wrestling champions Kai and Lonzy) and (Geibel Catholic girls basketball star) Emma Larkin, who got to rub elbows with everybody and they seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves.无毛视频�
The course was wet but the popular golf event went on.
无毛视频淕olf was a little bit slow with all the rain we had and they had to stay on the cart path,无毛视频� Von Benko said. 无毛视频淭hat threw us a little bit behind, but, otherwise, it went smoothly and went well I thought.
无毛视频淚t was just another one of those afternoons of camaraderie with the generations of Fayette County athletes getting together to honor the new class and breaking bread. This is a very special event and it无毛视频檚 sort of taken on a life of its own.无毛视频�
Von Benko would like to see the Hall of Fame continue to grow.
无毛视频淭he only thing I would ask people, as I did at the event, is we still need more memberships,无毛视频� said Von Benko, who, himself, was inducted into the Hall of Fame last year. 无毛视频淭here are a lot of people out there who used to be members who aren无毛视频檛 any more and we could use some of those coming back into the fold. You can go online and get a lifetime membership or for $20 a yearly membership. A yearly membership allows you to nominate and vote for our Hall of Fame and also have a vote in the Pennsylvania Hall of Fame.
无毛视频淥ne of things about our membership total is it determines the amount of votes that we get for the state Hall of Fame. For every 100 members we get four votes. We无毛视频檙e a little over 400 right now and I would like to get up to 500.
无毛视频淲e want to put more and more athletes into the Pennsylvania Hall of Fame because we have some very deserving people. We didn无毛视频檛 get anyone in this year and I was a little disappointed about that.无毛视频�
Even so, the Hall of Fame golf outing and luncheon remain highly anticipated events.
无毛视频淭he level of interest in it has been there year after year,无毛视频� Von Benko said, 无毛视频渁nd I don无毛视频檛 see that changing any time soon.无毛视频�
