Marc Failer, Chad Murphy, Dan Riecks should be first inductees for the Alumni Hall of Fame
I cannot believe none of the original FLC players are included in the nomination. The 1986 Team should be inducted, if it weren’t for us, FLC Lacrosse would not have gotten off the ground. Specifically, Scott Menoher, through his dedication and hard work, FLC Lacrosse was funded as a club by the student body.
I put in a vote for Chris Tilden from late ’80’s team. Powerhouse midfielder. Frank Magden, another strong midfielder of late ’80’s to early 90’s. I will second the Scott Menoher nomination as well.
John,
That is a great point. This is exactly why we started this page, so we can give credit to the guys who laid the foundation for this program. Thanks for the nominations!
Bob Berding? The heart of the skyhawks???
Pete Carrol made Marc Failer look foolish in practice if Marc gets in so should Pete
What position did Pete play? Years he was at the Fort?
I concur with Nails, I also think Boner should get in, based on name only!
How the F did Pat McGrath make this list before anyone else? I nominate J-Rob for his many years of service. I would also like to spearhead the “keep Stolley out” movement. Thanks for the support B-Do.
Billy Do – Best looking keeper in FortLax history.
“keep Stolley out” – haha
I definitely think we should keep Stolley out. Berding should be in on sheer number of games played alone. What was it…. like 7 years?
Bob is long overdue for recognition of his FLC lax contribution, seriously how many guys can talk the RMLC into giving them another year of eligibility just to get him to leave them alone?
