probably our best behind-the-scenes person ever Bob Nemit so I just want to uh say about Bob he's he was just sensational he did everything you ever needed whenever you wanted it he was a um a great friend very dependable very
reliable and just an all-around good guy in fact he was here last year uh cheering on um the inductees last year while he was battling cancer so uh just want to say thank you Bob and uh we won't forget you okay on with the festivities we have seven individual athletes uh tonight
going to the Hall of Fame the first athlete I like we want to induct um is Allison Martinuso when Allison Martin graduated Hollison High School in 1995 she could look back at her athletic career that had few
peers from her earliest days she displayed the heart and remarkable talents of a champion qualities that she would carry to an unimaginable success the three sport athlete a three sport athlete um in the fall we'd find Ally on the soccer field where her 42 career
goals would establish a team record and lead the Panthers to three successive Tri Valley League titles during the winter Ally was a gymnast participating in the floor exercise vault beam parallel bars and whose 32 points per meat average would earn her
team MVP honors in the spring Ellie would compete in track where running the uh the 100 meter dash she was undefeated in TVL competition and state champion her junior year she also anchored the 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams leading each
to significant success alli's performance did not go unnoticed this year in Tri Valley League Middle Sex News and Boston Globe all Scholastic All-Star honors in three sports she would then go on to attend Tulain University we'd like to invite Allison
to come up and accept this uh plaque for her induction [Applause] oh thank you i'm a little nervous so I
apologize if I have a shaky voice um I'd like to thank all the Hall of Fame um Jim Lemusio all the people that were named earlier that put this thing together for all of us um it was really fun kind of going back and seeing you know articles from my dad's scrapbook
things I had completely forgotten about so hopefully all the other athletes here felt the same way it was kind of fun to go down memory lane and it'll be 30 years this year since I graduated from high school so I'd forgotten a lot of things um I want to thank my parents they were the ones who um got me into
all these sports in the first place drove me to everything never hardly missed a game my dad certainly never missed a game uh my mom driving me everywhere um and I'd like to thank all my coaches oh wait i have to go back my dad also got inducted to the Ashland
Hall of Fame last year um so also for three sports and um so it feels pretty cool to be following in his footsteps um I'd like to thank my coaches we've got Ed Buckley my track coach sitting over at our table
um I was lucky to have the same coach um all four years and actually gymnastics I did five years so um I had the same coach for all four years so Tish Willis Pam Fish um and Coach Buckley um I was lucky enough to be on the same soccer
team as Stacy Hour Kashavaki who's getting inducted tonight um I've played soccer with her since I was in elementary school and then I was also fortunate enough to be on the same uh track team as Kim Telman so she's getting inducted today as well
um so it's it's a honor to be on the same stage as them and uh if uh Kim had done the same uh events as I did in track I never would have won anything so fortunately she was a distance runner um last thing I want to say is I just feel really lucky to have been able to be an
athlete during a time when uh club sports weren't really a thing yet and it was just I got to dedicate each season for each of those sports wasn't even thinking about the other sports during the season um nowadays it's like 12 months a year and club and everyone's running around like chickens with their
heads cut off and I just feel really lucky that I've been able to in high school I was able to do three sports and just really dedicate myself to them and it was really just pure joy and no pressure and it was just all about fun so I feel lucky that I was I was around
during that time thank you all right thank you thank you Ellison for your contribution and uh congratulations on the induction um next up Kevin's going to introduce Joe Fish thank you Jay next it is our pleasure to induct Joe Fish to the
Athletic Hall of Fame during an era in which baseball and basketball were the only sports offered to the boys of Hollison High School Joe Fish was a standout in each a product of the Mudville sand lots he graduated in
1956 and from the first days of his freshman year it was evident that Joe was something special joe played three years of basketball averaging 14.2 points per game as a senior in baseball Joe compiled successive batting averages
of 333 380 410 and 440 with 10 total home runs and leading Hollist to a combined 48-12 record in three league championships joe also excelled on the
mound going six-2 as a junior and nine and three as a senior striking out 16 Ashlin batters in one encounter named the team captain and MVP Joe was voted most athletic in his class and
chosen to play in the Hurst New England All-Star game at Fenway Park where he knocked out two hits driving in three runs he was also named an honorable mention choice in the Boston Globe All Scholastics team following graduation
Joe signed a contract with the Boston Red Sox playing for the Lexington Nebraska Farm Club in 1957 his professional career being curtailed due to injuries Joe soon found himself in France where playing for the
Army he would lead his service league in hitting he returned to the states where he married and raised a family through it all he remained a staunch and dedicated supporter of Hollison High School athletics even participating in
Harvey Kropnik's annual alumni baseball game until the age of 58 we'd like to invite Joe to accept this plaque in recognition of this induction come on down appreciate it thanks i want to thank my brother Billy
for getting all the clippings from the 50s from the Framingham Library from the Framingham News i want to thank John Shanahan who is a good friend of mine and helped get me here i want to talk
about other people that were great athletes and great teams in Hollist living in Seami Valley in the 70s i turned on the TV one time and Penn State was playing and they announced this guy
Gary Peter Kusky making the tackle from Hollist and I really got thrilled and then a little later Ron La Point made a great block from the tight end position moving along to
1981 I went up to uh Sullivan Stadium then for the division four state championship game and hooked up with a couple of the campersaw boys and saw Scott Rudy Phil Drogan and a tight end I
can't remember his name and they rubbed heavily favored favored Bourne 35- 15 moving on to 1985 I went up to uh Boston University Field and again met a couple of the
campus halls and saw uh Mark Sweeney and uh Rich Gordani doing a powerful Archbishop Williams team who came out on the field and they look like Notre Dame they had notame style uniforms but it
didn't phase Holliston moving on to uh 1987 I went up to Stonem and Hollist was playing uh I think it was Melrose no it was uh opposite it was Stonem playing in
Melrose at Morelli Field and uh Stonem had a kid named uh uh I forget what his name was but he played eight years for Kansas City in the bigs and uh a kid named Day second
baseman for Hollist hit a home run i think it was his only home run and they beat them and then they easily won the game at Milford against another team six-2 so and then a couple times I came
up from the Cape i moved to the Cape in 79 and watched Tish Tesh Willis's girls soccer team win a couple of games well that was a thrill so uh I don't want to take any more time up but uh I I really
like Hollist sports and athletes Joe great job thank you for your contribution to Hollist Athletics congratulations thank you [Applause]

fundamentals uh and stayed with me all the way through high school hockey henry and I have been friends for 50 years as as well as his wife Sheiler and and daughter Lisa who he graduated high school with uh and my parents of course um all
of us who played sports you know have to thank our parents for the amount of time they spend with us the sacrifices the money hockey was an expensive sport cing us around carting around all all of New England and beyond um I wish
they were here tonight to to share the special moment like many men and women my age uh who played hockey I'm a product of the Bobby or generation arguably the greatest hockey player of all time uh or was at the prime of his career when I started
hockey and all of us wanted to wear the number four and call ourselves Bobby Y or I first started to skate uh when I was just a few years old on a rink across the street from my house that Bob Denachzo uh built i don't know if you
remember the Denichenzos but Steven Denachenzo class of 82 uh I was a sophomore when he was a senior and he he set a world record scoring the fastest hattrick in 11 seconds right scored a goal and two more in 11 seconds uh I was
fortunate to be on the ice for the first goal um a lot of kids played on that rink at the Dennis's house ricky and Rod Lavash to Jimmy Dunn Tommy Cody Johnny Christophoro Greg Datuni many many other
great hockey players out of Hollist when I was six years old I started playing organized hockey for the Hollston youth program i played on the same line with two of my close friends Alex Marsen and Shantelli we skated together for eight years through youth hockey we won a lot
of tournaments you know won a lot of leagues henry Woods was one of our coaches my freshman year going into my freshman year Alex and Sean decided to go to Marion High School i don't know why uh I won't get into my academic
accomplishments as that would be the shortest speech ever given um I was not a good student academically but and I really struggled through school but my love for hockey and the support from my coaches and teachers who knew that my passion was hockey something that I was
good at forced me to try in school stay in school um so I really thank them for that uh I have have a lot of great memories playing for Hollist High School um I actually started I was talking to coach Mantonudo earlier uh I actually
started I was in the eighth grade my brother was a sen uh a sophom junior at the time um and coachuto I was introduced to the coach um he heard that I was coming up through the youth program i could put the puck in the net
so uh we he took me under his wing he asked me to start doing shot counting the shots during the games um the varsity game so as an eighth grader I'm up in the stands i think I'm a hot shot working with the coaching staff i'd run down in between periods and give coach
Mantuto the shot clock so that he could uh analyze how the opponents were attacking our our zone and where our offense was uh working in the in their zone so that's how I first started getting to know Coach Mantuto my
freshman year um there were nine seniors and eight juniors on the team so I really didn't have a shot of making the team but Coach Mantuto uh asked me to skate in all the all the practices and uh it's that's where it all started so I skated in all the
practices played in all the JV games my sophomore year I made the team i centered uh the second line with uh Jerry Carroll and David Weber on my wings coach Matt Nudo had us in a checking line which I had never done before little little short guy like
myself whenever our opponents were on the ice when the leading scorers of the opponent team was on the ice uh our job was to go out there and lock onto them and shut them down from scoring i'd never been slashed cross-checked punched sworn at so many times in my life but it
was fun i scored my first goal that year against Keef Tech believe it or not Kee had a pretty good hockey program back in the 80s my junior year was a long tough year uh we were we had a very young group we had three seniors uh Johnny Gray Tommy
Frost and Paul Zilioli and three juniors myself Rod Lavash and Mark Bis team was mostly sophomores and freshman we went 10 uh 5 10 and five but uh as stated earlier I I personally had a a good year
that year with scoring and uh and and made the all-star team my senior year Seanelli came back from Marian he smartened up but it was a little late um but we went on to uh we had a great season we went 233 and one uh we made
the semi-finals of the state tournament and lost in double overtime to Shasheen five to four that was my last high school game and of course the one I remember so vividly and I would like to have a redo today i had two goals and two assists in
that game but unfortunately I broke my left toe in the third period uh I don't know if anybody's ever broken their toe but it's not pleasant and it was certainly no fun trying to skate on it i continued to play but uh we lost so I look back and say I don't know if we
ever had an opportunity I'd play them today and I know we would win and we would have went on to win the state championship one other great memory I have from from high school high school experience I had was uh representing the USA playing
playing on a select team led by coach Matt Nudo we uh we skated in Cortina Italy in Switzerland we played in the home of the 1956 Olympics it was an outdoor arena in Cortina it was an absolutely unbelievable experience and thank you to the coach for
that i had a lot of other great coaches growing up as I mentioned Henry Woods uh you know his dedication to the youth hockey program and the high school program you know should really be recognized he's he has spent so many hours teaching kids how to play the
game coach Matt Nudo was like a father to me not only was he a great coach principal here at the at Hollist High School but he was also a teacher and a mentor if I did not have the coach in my life pushing me in high school watching out
for me I don't know where my life would have turned out he convinced so many teachers to just give me a little bit of extra help to keep me eligible to play as he mentioned as mentioned earlier um I was out of graduated in '
84 but came back in 1989 i was able to coach for five years uh two years with the coach before uh he had to step aside and another three years with uh coach Sullivan so anyways it was a lot of great years a lot of great memories um I
just again in closing I'd like to again thank the selection committee for honoring me and thank you to my family and friends for being here tonight it really means a lot to me thank you michael thank you for your contribution to Holliston Athletics congratulations
on your [Applause] induction okay uh one of the things I get to do before the um before the festivity starts I get to interview all these all these people i I don't know a lot of them i didn't know a lot of them
i know a few of them we'll be talking to them later um if you get a chance talk to some of these people it's really Joe Joe Fish i mean you know the stuff he comes up with it's it's he's a riot um and Mike Calcasey works in the same company as my as my son and his uh

made only one error batting 585 is a as an eighth grader batting .585 which was third in the Tri Valley League being selected as a Tri Valley League Allstars and earning the first of 13 varsity letters in soccer coach Willis credited
Stacy's defense for preventing many goals leading the team to the Eastern Mass Division 2 Championship and playing in the state finals uh the best results for any Hollison girls soccer team at that time stacy also found success on the hardwood
with sports writer Mike Flanigan exalting that Stacy Hour has emerged as the premier Panther during her sophomore year uh while coach uh Atkinson her basketball coach noted that her
unbelievable rebounding her tenacious defense and willingness to go after loose balls in all that plus she was a force on the offensive end as well finishing with 1188 points for her [Applause]
career in total Stacy was a three-point captain 12time All-Star five-time Middle Sex News All-Star to go along with being a two-time team MVP for basketball her coaches celebrated her toughness and leadership with Coach Gunther saying she
was a special athlete but an even better person and teammate after graduation Stacy attended Wheaten College where she was a four-year starter on the basketball team and she almost got a thousand points there too the coach pulled her out a little early right Stacy the coach pulled out a little um
so we'd like to invite Stacy up to accept her plaque in recognition of her induction we'll do thank you thank you what an incredible honor it is to stand here tonight to be recognized again among so many talented athletes
coaches and supporters of Hallston sports is truly humbling i want to express my heartfelt thanks to the Hall of Fame committee for the recognition and for keeping the tradition of excellence in Hall athletics alive for so many years sports was my life the one thing I could
do without ever worrying about how I played whether I was good enough or who was watching those sports came naturally to me the classroom was a different story kind of ironic that I'm a teacher today some of my fondest memories are from high school playing for three
incredible coaches Tish Willis Rita Atinson and Deb Gunther thank you for your endless patience and commitment to pushing me to be the best version of myself whether it was encouraging me to make a clutch shot in basketball running drills at full speed in soccer or
reminding me to keep my eye on the ball you were always challenging me to grow and be believe in myself and to my teammates we spent countless hours together on the field court and diamond we recognized we celebrated victories
learned from our losses and through it all we had each other's backs i'll always treasure those moments the inside jokes the pasta dinners and our bus ride shenanigans but none of this would have been possible possible without the unwavering support of my
family thank you to my parents you were always in the stands cheering me on even when I wasn't playing my best dad sometimes your cheers might have been a little too loud cuz if my memory serves me correctly you might have been kicked out of a game or two for heck heckling
the refs but you never missed a game no matter how early late or rainy it was and to my brother although you're two and a half years older you would often get asked if you were Stacy's brother but in typical Kevin fashion you would respond with
"Well she might have the athleticism but I have the looks and the brains." In all seriousness I want to extend a word of gratitude to the committee my coaches teammates family and friends for this incredible honor i hope you all enjoy your night thank you
thank you very much uh for all you did for the Hollison Athletics Stacy and congratulations okay next up next it is our pleasure to induct Kim Tolman Nadu to the Athletic Hall of Fame regardless of the season in the late 90s

age group we'd like to invite Kim to accept this plaque in recognition of her induction good stuff thank you so much back in the fall I heard from Coach Buckley about this Hall of Fame honor and I immediately thought of something I
needed to find hidden in a memory bin so I moved the bin of ice skates and snowshoes aside pushed the camping gear to the corner set aside the storage container filled with bike helmets and then I saw what I was looking
for i pulled each momentto out one at a time there were small race medals and co from coaches meets and state championships and large MVP trophies from endofear banquetss there was a popsicle stick with a number one on it i'm pretty sure I was supposed to give
that back i had college recruitment letters bib numbers with results written on the back and notes from old teammates with drawings of strong runner girls but none of this is what I was looking for i kept
sorting through the memory stacks red H varsity letters a printed calendar from August 1994 where I kept track of my training monday three miles wednesday one mile friday two miles i did eventually increase my
mileage at the very bottom of the bin was a folded piece of paper now yellowing and when I opened it I saw Hollist High School athletic department stationary with this handwritten note every single sentence ending with an
exclamation point some of you are going to know who that is coach [Applause] Buckley I want to share this because it gives you a sense of the foundation from which my running was built and I did of
course bring the letter so here's with all the explanations dated September 13th and I don't know what year it was but here's what he wrote good to see you running the other day hope you are
enjoying it remember some exciting things are going to happen for you this year you're going to love training for big races by working at different distances you'll stay fresh and focused and have a lot of fun have a wonderful cross country year drop by the practice
field and check in once in a while coach Buckley thank [Applause] you keep in mind he was writing that during football season when he had dozens of his own athletes who he was
also sending handwritten notes to i know because my twin brother was one of them there were likely 30 of these notes from the five years competing in cross country and track and field and these handwritten notes went to all of my siblings and all of my teammates too it
was very special in the summer going into my junior year we had no cross country coach lined up for that season my dad knew that Chrissy Clifford maiden named at Tommy who had also graduated from Hollison High School had just finished
her four years at Boston College where she was a member of the cross country and track teams call her my dad said i can't call her I told my dad i pictured myself awkwardly on the phone and if you knew
me in high Okay good i'm not starting over um but where did I leave off okay I got it okay so in eighth grade it was finally my turn my sister Jen then a senior might
have wished I waited just a little longer because there were some moments where my body finished in front of her body sorry Jen since that day I never stopped competing in this sport now as a mom to two teenagers I'm enjoying
watching my kids fall in love with the same sport that I fell in love with when I was their age at Hollist High School i'm back where it all began but instead of as athlete I'm the videographer the not too loud cheerleader the training

under you you fostered an environment where we as a team could thrive and I have immense respect for the program you built i will never forget when you told me I would be a state champion even when I didn't fully believe it it was after a
long grueling I believe duel meet and I was heading back to the locker room and the only thing I really can remember is him putting his arm around me telling me that I wrestled well even though I didn't think it and told me one day I would be a state champion that fueled my
drive from then on out to hopefully get that achievement for him my success as a senior earning all state champ was the result of hard work and the incredible support from my family coaches and teammates i hope to carry

induct the 2006 state champion golf team to the Athletic Hall of Fame the 2006 golf team was not exactly a Cinderella story as the program was beginning a run of six straight seasons qualifying for the state tournament
which included a TVL three repeat and a two cell sectional titles but entering the state tournament that fall they were not the favorites having finished third in the TVL behind Hopington and Westwood and having lost to Westwood by eight strokes a week
earlier on October 30th at Ganon Municipal Golf Course in Lynn however the day belonged to coach Chris Murphy's Panthers senior captains Zack Culver shot an 83 while juniors Ryan Clancy and
Matt Lucier scored an 88 and 80 respectively leading the Panthers was freshman and future three times TVL MVP Cole Childs with a 79 all of these players along with
teammates Cory Craelello averaged under 40 for nine holes for the 2006 season giving them five of the nine best averages in the TVL their culminating culminating achievement was a one-stroke
victory for Hollist 33 331 over an undefeated Westwood team for the state championship the first in school history along with teammates Steve Tekco Greg Henrique Austin Goldenberg Mark Tierra
Derek and Nick Marowy Pat Tan Eric Schmidt Connor Ali and Ricky Wester the 2006 golf team set the standard for years of success for the Hollist Golf Program we ask for members of the team
to come forward to accept their plaque someone's got to hold us thank you very much you're going to take that i'm going to take that first i'm just glad I didn't have to follow directly after Mr fish that was wonderful earlier thank you
um listening to all the speeches tonight um basically made me throw away the speech that I wrote um you said in some ways more than I could that that I could have put into words though I'm supposed to be an English teacher of
some sort in this town for 26 years um the community the families and then the other little side families that we create in athletics are uh are something that you don't I
suppose you find in a lot of places but to me it just seems you don't find them in the same way as we do here um I didn't expect to get emotional about it i am you know
um we have people coming in flying in from Austin this morning coach I don't know if I can make it i'll be there you know we have people who couldn't be here because they were here last weekend and or are here next weekend due to due to other obligations they're all over the place they're all successful they're all
doing well they're all I liked I liked Los the best because he was closest to me in height everybody else is bigger than DCO we won the I think our greatest accomplishment was we won the tugof-war
at the pep rally that year in 2006 the toughest team in the in the school you wouldn't think that of the golf team but um there are a couple people I want to I just want to mention uh who were listed already one who was listed already um
and one who was was not um who are not with us anymore um and just take one moment to remember our teammate Corey Cello and Ryan Clancy's dad Chris who was one of our biggest
supporters so just for one moment just think on those names please and I also want to recognize in terms of biggest supporters Mr child's and Janet his wife um who who
uh didn't say that he was going to come tonight but I knew we couldn't have beaten him off with a stick at the door um was always there following me around in the woods in the treelined while I was trying not to throw up watching these guys give away a lead or whatever it was
um he was there every step of the way we appreciate all his support and and uh Chris was right there with him and along with all the other parents who did all the the toading around and fretting and worrying and all that stuff that people
have mentioned before um I don't think we had a lot of arguments amongst us other than what color belt we were going to wear you guys were like the fashion plates of the league a lot of that we worried about all the all the
important little things um and I I just I think I'd like to hand it off to to them now maybe they can give give me a jab or two on the way out who knows when I'll see you again it's really good to see you guys now and um

Fames am I going to get inducted to in my life and our team and this is a pretty cool deal and so I figured I'd make it work but um it's awesome to be here this is a very cool room this is a very cool event so thank you to everyone that put it on um and and thank you for the honor of recognizing our team it was
a really cool group of guys i mean golf is interesting because like there's no fans is not many of you have probably been to a high school golf tournament so it's very much the team and the coach and like getting there and and making sure that everyone's ready to rock and and you know and do their best and set up to succeed and and golf is also you
know a lot of the time it's in the summer where we're all playing together and this was definitely a group of guys that was not just here for the fall golf season we were all all over the place at Pinerest and Glenn Ellen and the other courses in the area all uh all throughout the summer and and you know building friendships and bonds that were great and frankly I went out and played
a couple years of college golf and missed the high school team that I had because we had such a great group of people so um I'll turn it over to some of these other guys but thank you thank you everyone for putting this on um thank you for recognizing our team and and you know thanks for the evening uh Matt Lucier um um yeah just a lot of
great memories uh playing at Pinerest after school um piling into the cars of the upper classman when I was a underassman driving down the road um you know getting the privilege of playing golf every day after school is is pretty
awesome thinking back to it and um yeah I texted my brother uh earlier today i was like "Give any Holl shirts kicking around the house." And believe it or not he had this uh he had this pullover in the the closet uh just inside just inside the
mud room it was the most the leftmost hanging piece of clothing in the closet um yeah so yeah I think the fashion 20 years of layers I think this fashion stands the test of time but um sad I got you when I But yeah um I get I um maybe
the last thing I'll say is a special thanks to my parents for giving me the privilege of uh playing golf for fun growing up and um yeah [Music] hi everyone uh Steve Decheco uh it was such an honor playing on the golf team
with Murf uh everyone sort of covered all the bases but a huge thank you to our parents at George Child's as well we used to get dropped off every day in the summer at Sunrise at either Pinerest or Glenn Allen uh we get picked up at sunset uh we'd be there all day every
day and all we did was play golf uh it was a huge part of my childhood uh it's still a huge part of my adult life i'm incredibly grateful for all the friendships and everything that came from coach Murf and the golf team uh it made us great players and even better
people uh we were officially the best dressed team we had i mean we've covered it but we had some incredible Dryjo joy jackets and pants no the bag if you get a chance to see the bag we're the only team with titleless bags in the league it was a big deal it's a big deal and uh

to figure out who's going in this year and then collect up all the stuff so you you guys are wonderful thank thank you for doing so much all right finally we have two coaches being inducted into the the first uh hall of fame class this first coach is um really a
lot more than the coach really really special um we like to recognize Paul Rolls nobody's more responsible for the robust culture of Hollist than Paul Rolls upon his arrival in 1968
accompanying his good friend and fellow Hall of Famer Tom Ko Rolls immediately set about building one sport at a time as an outdoor track coach he led the team to a state championship in 1972 despite not having a facility and practicing in the parking
lot in 1976 he followed coach Ko as coach of the football team and immediately led the team to an undefeated season and a Super Bowl appearance while he also spent many years as a health teacher at the high school his most indelible mark on
Holliston was felt as an athletic director where he oversaw the rapid expansion of programs offered including the addition of gymnastics golf wrestling hockey and both boys and girls soccer without Coach Rolls many of these
fellow inductees tonight would not have had the same opportunities he also coordinated a $125,000 fundraising effort to build a new football field founded Harour and Holliston earned and this is this is really amazing i don't know how many of
you remember that the Dalton trophies but the Dalton trophies uh were giving to the teams they take all the all the combined teams from the high school and they they put them all together all the one loss records and and do them all so it's really incredible to win the Dolphin Dalton Trophies years and years
ago and they won it 10 times in 20 years just a remarkable accomplishment his work culminated in the high school fieldhouse being named after him in 2006 we'd like to ask Paul Rose Jr to come up and accept this plaque in
recognition of his dad's induction [Applause] jay you you just covered a lot of the
points I was going to go over um just to give a little background our our father's was the athletic director teacher and coach here in Hollist for over 30 years i'm not going to go through all 30 years so get that out of the way he grew up uh
in a middle-ass family in Cranston Rhode Island he played he was a four-star uh four season sport athlete he played football basketball baseball and track he
um upon graduation he was uh if many of you people knew him uh when he graduated high school he was 6'3" 190 lbs and no one who knew him then could picture what he looked like when he graduated college
when he graduated he was uh recruited to play tight end at Boston University um as legend has it he outgrew his position by the time he was a sophomore he was 66 260 lbs and he was playing uh
offensive tackle and defensive end one of his uh teammates and lifelong friends uh nicknamed him big fella okay that person was Tommy Ko so after graduating college uh they both
went back to Rhode Island where they both had coaching jobs at different schools our father was athletic director and teacher in Situit Rhode Island and Tommy gave him a call telling him about a town named Hollist he said "Uh they're looking for an AD
and I'm looking for defensive coordinator so let's go." So they did um as athletic director uh he believed that interchool intercoolastic sports were an important part of education some of the lessons learned on
the courts fields and diamonds are just as important as those learned in the classroom by expanding the athletic program more students would be able to participate in athletics and learn those important lessons the two things necessary to have
successful programs as we've heard many many times tonight are to have great coaches and great athletes and fortunately Hollist had both of them as Jay mentioned uh the
Dalton trophies that were won over the time how important are coaches to a student's development well 10 20 30 years later you may not remember who your English teacher was or who your math teacher was but you'll never forget
who your coach was my family would like to thank the Hollison Hall of Fame committee and also congratulations to all of tonight's
[Applause] inductees thank you very much uh Paul Jr and congratulations to your dad he was a heck of a guy who who a big old cowboy
hat a lot uh last up Kevin thank you the next coach would like to recognize is Ed Manudo for those of you who have been following Hollist High School sports for the past
two decades there's a good chance that you know Ed Mantonudo for those of you who don't know Ed his is the familiar face found selling tickets and patrolling the stands at numerous Panther sporting events but Ed's
involvement with Hollist High School sports and administration well predates his ticket selling days a native of Needam he was born Joseph Edward Matanudo and arrived at Hollison High
School in 1978 as the new assistant principal he was wellprepared for the position having spent seven years as an administrator and hockey coach at Enrico Fermy High School in Enfield Connecticut
he assumed the head hockey coach position in Hollist in 1979 and over the course of 11 seasons he won more than 130 games twice reaching the Eastern Mass Division 2
finals ed's career took a sudden turn in 1990 when he suffered a massive stroke that paralyzed him and left him unable to speak today following years of therapy he lives in Hollist active in his high school responsibilities as well
as a middle school cafeteria monitor ed's coaching reputation distinguished him among his peers one former player recalled that coach Mantonudo was the best coach I ever played for he was the
toughest coach and expected 120% for practices and games he preached that the way you practice is the way you were going to play in the game another former player said "Ed wasn't just a coach he was a father figure he inspired you to
want to do the right thing." Still to this day anyone you ask will tell you he impacted their life in some way a former Tri Valley League opposing coach described Ed's coaching style as a
strict disciplined system if his players followed that system they'd be able to do things that they would allow them to beat teams they normally wouldn't he said "Ed has been the recipient of many prior awards including the Boston Globe
Hockey Coach of the Year the National Ice Hockey Officials Coach of the Year and is a member of the Massachusetts Hockey Association Hall of Fame he was also named the Tri Valley League's Hockey Coach of the Year three
times would like to invite Ed up to accept his plaque in recognition of his induction yeah there's a picture here of you in the Is that really you you want to see it all you want a seat at all no okay
