History
The creation of the Boyertown
Wrestling Hall of Fame occurred during the 1989-90 wrestling season when
Boyertown was celebrating its first twenty-five years of
existence. A group of wrestling alumni, past coaches, and wrestling enthusiasts
felt that it was important to pay tribute to the elite people who have had a
major impact on wrestling in Boyertown.
A committee established the criteria for induction into the Hall of Fame.
Wrestling alumni, past coaches and any interested person can be a member of this
committee. Induction will occur every other year beginning with the 1991 year. To be
eligible for nomination a wrestler must be out of the program at least five
years. The ballot will contain a maximum of ten nominees with at least one
representative from each five year period in Boyertown wrestling history. People
outside of wrestling that made a major contribution to the program will be
recommended by the committee.
Past captains, MVP's, past inductees and any interested person will receive a ballot.
Each person may vote for a maximum of three nominees with the top two being
inducted. Any other nominee receiving fifty percent or more of the votes will
qualify for induction.
Inductees receive an individual plaque and their names placed on a large displayed in the
senior high showcase. The Boyertown Wrestling Parents Association will finance all
awards for the Hall of Fame.
The next ballot will be during the 2006-2007 season. The committee would like to
have as many people get involved in the nomination and voting process as
possible. Anyone interested in becoming involved with the Hall of Fame should
contact John Cooley/Senior High Assistant Coach.
