    WPIAL HALL OF FAME AND COURAGE AWARD 2014 INDUCTEES ATHLETES DANTE CALABRIA, BLACKHAWK HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1992 There are 2,252 reasons to remember Calabria at Blackhawk. That’s how many points he scored in his basketball career. A 6-foot-4 guard, Calabria is one of the WPIAL’s greatest shooters, making 66 3-pointers as a senior when he averaged 27 points and eight rebounds. He shot 60 percent as a junior and senior and was the primary reason Blackhawk was 62-2 in those two years. He won three WPIAL championships, a state title and the 1992 team is considered one of the WPIAL’s best in the past few decades. The Cougars won 32 games in a row and averaged 91 points a game. Calabria went on to play for the North Carolina Tar Heels and was part of an NCAA championship team as well as a Final Four team. He is one of the top 3-point shooters in North Carolina history and went on to play 16 seasons of professional ball overseas. RALPH CINDRICH, AVELLA HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1967 Cindrich was an outstanding football player, going on to play in the NFL for four seasons. But he was also a top-notch wrestler. At Avella, Cindrich was a WPIAL champion and twice made it to the state championship match in wrestling. He also made his mark on the football field, helping Avella to a WPIAL title game in 1966. He was named All-State and was selected to the Big 33 football all-star game in 1967 before going on to the University of Pittsburgh, where he was a standout in both football and wrestling.
