Each year outstanding athletes are inducted into the Hall, in recognition of their achievements, both here as high school students, and later on in college. Football, basketball, track…players and coaches, young people and those who have passed on…the diversity of the inductees makes us realize how broad the athletic opportunities are, and the self confidence it builds. Athletes often become community leaders, as so many of our inductees prove, and stand as role models. There is no doubt that when youngsters feel success on the court, they are encouraged to do their best in all areas of their lives. Thank you for being part of our community of friends. Your participation here tonight will help make the dreams of some young athlete-scholars come true. We appreciate your commitment to the Newark Athletic Hall of Fame, and look forward to seeing you next year. Sincerely, Joseph N.
