If you figure that combination should add up to All-Ivy medical school you are right. From 1953 through 1956 he was a fixture at tackle at Mt. Carmel High School. During that period he excelled at football, wrestling and track. He was an Honorable Mention All Stater in all three sports. He became a 3 year starter at Cornell. During that period, in which he received All Ivy First nike metcon 9 Team Honors twice, the Big Red won the Ivy League championship and finished second once. Tommy then attended Magill University in Canada prior to matriculation at Cornell Medical School. While at Magill he started for two additional post-graduate years for the Magill football team.

He also practiced medicine in Fort Hamilton, Ontario for a short period until his death in 1975.

INDUCTEE Tony Dondero was a four year starter at offensive tackle for the Lourdes Red Raiders from 1971 through 1974. He also participated in basketball and golf, lettering twice in each sport. He was named to the All Coal Region Team, and the All Anthracite team as a senior. He was an important part of the undefeated 1972 Lourdes squad that produced a number of players who distinguished themselves as college players. He lettered four years at Lehigh University from 1975 to 1978. His Lehigh squad won the Lambert Cup, symbol of Eastern supremacy, in 1975 and 1977. They were division 1 AA National Champions in 1977.

INDUCTEE George Bach graduated from Mount Carmel Catholic High School in 1950. Bach played both ways for the “RAMS” as a tackle and sometimes nose guard. He served as captain his senior year. During his four years as a varsity player, the “RAMS” posted highly successful seasons competing against the larger public and catholic schools in central Pennsylvania. During his tenure the “RAMS” were considered one of the best high school teams in the area and were repeat winners of the Anthracite Catholic League. George played for several outstanding football coaches and personalities, namely, Robert Balent, Ray Green, Tufkie Andrulevich, Foster Richards, Duke Narcavage, Joe Pezelski and the memorable Herb Curley. All of his coaches rated him as an outstanding trap blocker and a nemesis on defense who made the left tackle post a spot to be shunned by offensive backs. George’s post-season honors included being named to the All Central Pennsylvania Catholic Team and numerous all opponents teams. In his playing days George personified Hard Nosed Coal Region Football but tempered devin booker nike book 1 hike snakeskin release date 2024 the nature of the game by being successful in the classroom as a First Honor student for four years. George received letters from several colleges (North Carolina, Fresno State, Saint Vincents, Dickinson, and Buffalo) but elected to enlist in the Air Force following graduation. After completing his military duty, George attended Bloomsburg University where he majored in the Physical NIKE 'AIR MAX 720 REACT' SNEAKERS , Украина #143301361 , Женские кроссовки nike белые кроссовки найк на высокой подошве — цена 1599 грн в каталоге Кроссовки ✓ Купить женские вещи по доступной цене на Шафе Sciences.

George is most proud of being the first in the line of the Bach brothers (Joe, John, Jim, and Frank) who excelled as RAMS in the 50’s and 60’s.

INDUCTEE Henry Duran earned 10 letters as a three-sport athlete at Kulpmont High School from 1941 through 1945. As starting left half back for Coach Mike Terry, Henry did most of the passing and all of the team’s punting. He was an excellent blocker who led the 44 team to an undefeated season. After graduation, he was offered a number of athletic scholarships to continue his career as a college football player. He chose the University of Pittsburgh, where Clark Air Jordan 1 Outlet Store Shaughnessy’s offense was perfectly suited for someone with his versatile talents. World War II intervened, and his career, like so many others in those days was cut short by being drafted into the service. He played on the Army’s 7th Division team…and as quarterback and team captain had the opportunity to hone his athletic skills even farther. He received other scholarship offers as a result of his Army career; but he renewed his commitment to Pitt and returned there after his discharge. While at Pitt he sustained a serious hip injury which actually prevented him from getting into a three-point stance. A tailback who couldn’t get into a stance was just not suited for single wing football…and as a result he had to give up football at Pitt. Despite the danger for further injury, he continued to play as a “semi pro” for a number of local teams. He moved to Maryland and became a member of the Maryland State Police. He later continued in the same field with Nationwide Insurance and General Motors before his retirement.

INDUCTEE Dennis Lentini was a tremendous athlete, whose career was not given proper credit because he played on teams with other terrific athletes who got more headlines. But when you look at the record of his accomplishments, what emerges is the realization that he had one of the finest careers of any Mt. Carmel football player. Coach “Jazz” Diminick called him an “instinctive” player who had a special feel for the game situation. In those years the “blitz” had not yet become a highly refined defensive technique; but Jazz said “we never had to tell him when to blitz…he seemed to sense the situation and “go” at just the right time.” He started at linebacker for three years; and was All Conference each of the three. In 1968 he was All State on the undefeated championship team. He teamed with Bob Sacavage as a linebacker tandem nike metcon 9 on the great ‘68 team which shutout 7 of its 11 opponents. He was also a devastating blocker at the point as a tight end. His blocking was one of the major reasons the Mt. Carmel “stampede”, as the power sweep was called was the hallmark of those teams that featured the running of Bob Veach and Gary Diminick. He also lettered 4 years in Track & Field, and was three-time District 4 shot put and discus champion. He was recruited by Frank Kush to play linebacker at Arizona State. His name is included whenever Tornado fans talk about the great defensive players of the past.

INDUCTEE Billy Shannon was one of the all-time great athletes at Mt. Carmel Township. As an all League guard he led the Golden Bears to the Anthracite League Championship as a senior in 1943. But like so many other great athletes of that era, college just was not an option available to him. He went off to the Service, as did almost every one in those days. It was in the Navy where he was “discovered”. He was a solid two-sport star for the Great Lakes squad; and his pitching caught the eye of a scout from the St. Louis Cardinals. Immediately after the end of his service hitch, Billy signed with the Cardinals and reported to their Class A Hamilton affiliate. He began to move up in the Cards chain when he sustained a serious shoulder injury that eventually curtailed his career. He returned home in 1949 and immediately began to play local semi pro baseball and basketball. He was a member of the 1953 Locust Gap Apollos which won the semi-pro state championship. Billy Shannon was one of those guys who could have made it with the right breaks. Were it not for the War and the unfortunate shoulder injury, it is not a “stretch” to suggest he would have had a major league baseball career.

INDUCTEE A list of Mike’s accomplishments would extend beyond our allotted space; therefore we will mention only a few. No one locally, probably very few people nationally, ever combined athletic and scholastic achievement to such a significant degree. In 1985 as class Valedictorian he scored in the top 5% nationally in the SAT. Meanwhile, he was selected by the National High School Football Coaches as their National Scholar Athlete of the Year. He was also selected by Bally’s as the kick returner on their High School All American Squad. In that one golden year he was named to every All State and National Honors team. In addition, the Mt. Carmel Board of Education retired hi football jersey and Borough Council declared Jan. 2, 1985 as “Mike Diminick Day”. He attended Duke University not on a football scholarship; but as the Angie Biddle Duke Scolar, the most prestigious Academic Scholarship awarded at Duke. While at Duke, where he started for three years in their defensive backfield, he was first team Academic All American for three years. Mike is the only Duke football player to accomplish this feat. He was all ACC for three years…the 1988 College Football Association National Scholar Athlete of the year…and the ACC Scholar Athlete of the Year. He was honored by the National Football Coaches as a Scholastic All American at their annual meeting at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City after completion of his final year at Duke. After graduation, Mike entered Harvard Medical School from where he graduated with honors in 1993. He is currently doing his third year of residency in orthopedic surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery, Cornell Medical Center, New York. Whether football or track, no one did it with more elegance, grace and intelligence than Mike Diminick. Ed Romance is grinning from ear to ear at this opportunity to honor Mike.

INDUCTEE If you were going to make a list of the top 5 athletes ever to play at Mt. Carmel High School you would have to include the name of Tom Vernon. He won 12 letters as a Tornado athlete, and was outstanding in every sport. He is the only athlete in the school’s history to be named All State in both football and basketball in the same year. The list of accomplishments goes on: He holds the single game scoring record for basketball, a 45 point effort against Pottsville in 1955. He was the first player to score 1000 points in a career; and his 25.3 points per game average in 54-55 is still the Tornado record. He began to compete in track as a junior…up to that time he concentrated on baseball in the spring. He became an immediate sensation. He went to the state track finals in two events, high jump and discus. Meanwhile, he led the Tornado baseball team in both hitting and pitching. As a senior he was Captain on all four major sports squads; and was named to Scholastic Sports All American team at end…the only Pennsylvanian to achieve that honor. Tom was not just a high school flash. As a football recruit at Michigan State he made an immediate impact. He started at end for three years for the Spartans, during which time their record was 32-12-2. He starred in the Rose Bowl victory over UCLA in 1956; and in 1958 won the Oil Can Award for the squad member who had the best attitude, enthusiasm, and humor… He signed with the Boston Patriots in 1960 and was their last cut at tight end. He finished that season in the Eastern Coast semi-pro league and led the league in receptions and touchdown passes (16 in 10 games). He was offered a contract with the Washington Redskins the following year, but because of 1-A draft status opted to coach the Mifflin High School team in Columbus, Ohio. He remained coach there for 5 years, and during the same period continued to play semi-pro with the Columbus Colts and the Columbus Capitols. He was frankly, ahead of his time. He had the athleticism and grace of a small man in a big man’s body. Certainly one of the finest athletes ever to wear the Tornado red and white.

SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARD Brian, a senior at Lourdes Regional, is a young golfer you will be hearing about in the future. He is a terrific all around athlete; but once bitten by the golf bug he abandoned all other sports activities to concentrate on his first love. Brian has led Lourdes to three straight SIAL Championships. Last year he won the District IV Championship over two-time district champion Greg Klebon of Shamokin. He came from behind, shooting even par on the tough White Deer Golf Club course to win the title over his chief rival, who had won the previous two years. Brian has played well in the big tournaments, an excellent sign in a young golfer. He hits the ball a long way, and is an excellent putter. That is a lethal combination in a golfer…and a sign that success is about to follow.
