Officials...
Hall
of
Fame to Welcome 14 New Members Saturday
COLUMBUS,
Ohio - The Ohio High School Athletic Association Officials Hall of Fame
Committee will enshrine its 2012 class into the Officials Hall of Fame
Saturday
night at its annual induction banquet in Columbus. Each of the 14
inductees in
the 2012 class is being honored for their significant contributions to
interscholastic officiating in the state of Ohio.
While the
OHSAA’s Circle of Champions recognizes individuals from various areas
who had
outstanding careers in high school athletics and have further
contributed to
interscholastic sports, the Officials Hall of Fame is the only Hall of
Fame
sponsored by the OHSAA.
“We
currently have approximately 16,000 officials in Ohio and so many of
them,
along with many retired officials, have had outstanding careers in
officiating,” said OHSAA Assistant Commissioner Henry Zaborniak, who
oversees
the entire officiating program. “It’s an honor to recognize these
highly
respected individuals with induction into the Hall of Fame and thank
them for
their service to student-athletes, coaches, schools and other
officials.”
