From The Bench - 2022 NB HOF Inductees

On August 14 the NB Athletic HOF Inducted 7 Athletes/Coaches and 1 State Championship Team

In 2010 I created a website for The History of NB football. This caught the eye of one of my co-workers who was a board member in North Branford. I explained to her that NB needed a Hall of Fame for athletes like other towns to honor our players.

2 months later on a warm August day, like yesterday I met with the North Branford athletic director in front of the high school. Our tabletop was the sidewalk and our seats were the curb we sat on. The North Branford Athletic Hall of Fame was created.

Yesterday at Millpond Gatherings in Northford I attended the induction of the Class of 2022 hall of fame athletes. It was a day of Purple and White pride and connecting with old friends. A day to recognize the men and women who have had an exceptional impact on the athletic program at North Branford High School. From the Bench would like to congratulate the following inductees.
