Two area wrestlers and one coach will be inducted into the Pennsylvania Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame this season. Nick Petronka, a two-time state champion at Washington, and Bob Truby, a two-time state champ from Trinity, will be among the dozen new inductees.

Jim Husk, who was a WPIAL champion at Waynesburg High School before coaching teams in Florida to more than 700 wins, will go in as a coach.

The other nine are Mark Cesari, a four-time state champion from North Schuykill; Joe Geesey, one of the nation's top officials; Tim McCall, a state champ from Erie Strong Vincent; John McHugh, longtime coach at the University of Maryland; Teague Moore, a state champion from North Allegheny; Fred Richardson, a respected wrestling official; Jeff Richardson, a state champ from Johnstown; Rich Santoro, a two-time state champion from Bethlehem Catholic; and Troy Sunderland, a two-timer from Mt. Union and current wrestling coach at Penn State.

The ceremonies will be held separate from the PIAA Individual Wrestling championships in Hershey next March. The induction ceremony will take place Saturday, April 18 at the Ramada Inn in State College.
