Meet the Newest Legends of Owl Country!
Did you catch the excitement over the weekend? The Bensalem High School gym was buzzing on Saturday, January 17, as they rolled out the blue and gray carpet for the newest members of the Athletic Hall of Fame. It was a fantastic day of hoops and history, with the ceremony taking place right between the boys’ and girls’ basketball games.
Twelve local legends—including ten former athletes, one iconic coach, and a dedicated community supporter—were officially inducted into the club. From baseball aces to wrestling powerhouses, this group represents the absolute best of what it means to be an Owl. After the applause died down at the gym, the celebration moved over to the Bensalem Country Club for dinner and plenty of reminiscing.
