The 2008 EASD Athletic Wall of Honor inductees

It's time for E-town to hold its second induction into district's Athletic Wall of Honor, and this year's class is filled with big names from E-town's past. Here are your inductees. When I get more information on their accomplishments, I'll pass that along. But for now, here are the names, which were just released to the public.

Gene Garber, baseball. Garber was a standout pitcher for E-town and went on to play for a very long time in Major League Baseball.

David Whitmore, soccer. Whitmore was an all-state and All-American selection back in 1980.

Charlie Jackson, wrestling. Jackson is considered the father of the E-town wrestling program and was its first coach.

Tommy Miller, wrestling. Miller remains the only individual state champion in program history.

Jennifer (Williams) Mitchell, track, field hockey and basketball. Williams was a three-sport star for the Bears.

Richard D. Miller, athletic director. Miller was one of the first athletic directors for the district and also was a coach on Phil Daubert's staff.

The 1975 field hockey team. The very first PIAA state champions in Pennsylvania history.

The 1993 baseball team. This team also won a state title.

The school district is still working on getting in touch with members of both the '75 field hockey team and the '93 baseball team. If anyone out there knows of any of these player and how the district can get in touch with them, please call high school athletic office and speak to either Linda O'Connor, athletic secretary, or Shane Piper, athletic director. The number is (717) 367-1533, ext. 7.
