The Chambersburg Athletics Hall of Fame committee has announced its inaugural class of inductees, a list that includes 11 individuals and one team.

“We are extremely excited to introduce the first class of the Chambersburg Athletics Hall of Fame,” said Corey Dayley, chairman of the Hall of Fame committee. “I want to thank everyone on the committee for their time and efforts, as well as the community for their nominations and support.

“This is a long and overdue endeavor that has been a pleasure to lead.”

The first induction ceremony will be held Friday, Sept. 20, 2024 at halftime of Chambersburg’s home football game vs. State College.

The Hall of Fame team that will be inducted is the Trojan girls cross country team of 1977, which captured the PIAA Class AAA championship – the first official PIAA state championship for a Chambersburg team.

The class of individuals, listed in alphabetical order, includes:

• Tom Brookens, athlete (baseball)
• Marcia Brown, coach (numerous girls sports)
• Barry Carter Sr., athlete (football, basketball, baseball, track & field)
• Tim Cook, athlete and coach (cross country, track & field)
• Ron Etter, athlete (football)
• David Myers, athlete (football, basketball, baseball)
• Marshay Ryan, athlete (track & field)
• Lowell “Doc” Schlichter, legacy (coach and athletic director)
• Mitch Stahl, athlete (volleyball)
• Bob Thomas, coach (baseball)
• Stephanie (Van Brakle) Prothro, athlete (softball)

The committee will release separate biographies on each of the inductees and the team from now until the end of the summer.

The Hall of Fame committee was formed in 2023 and solicited nominations from the community during the fall and winter sports seasons. The voting committee made the final decisions about the inductees.

The Hall of Fame will have a permanent display area in the lobby of the CASHS Field House. Donations for that display may be made by contacting Dayley at 717-816-1391 or trojanhof@gmail.com.
