From Dan Doyle –

Congratulations to Russ Hanks and John Serafine on being elected into the Wayne Central Soccer Hall of Fame. This year’s nominating committee has chosen one defensive player and one offensive player. They join Arthur Capers (2016) and Dave Johnville (2018).

Voted to be one of our senior Co-Captains, Russ led the team both on and off the field. Motivated and resourceful, with a game plan to take on any offensive player or advancement. In constant communication with the other defensive players. A goalie’s friend when it came to corner kicks. A heavy foot to move the ball up field. Could easily give encouragement when we won or make suggestions for improvements when we lost.

Jocko played center line, a complex pressure position he loved. A team player, who excelled when competing against the other team’s defense and goalie, using skill, trickery and determination. Physically capable of running long distances. Always with an encouraging word when other teammates were down.

Both were good sports when losing and fun people to be with when riding the Victory Team Bus back to the high school. Both involved in other sports and extracurricular activities during school years. Russ has been a mentor and soccer coach in the Albany, NY area. Jocko enjoys golf at The Villages in Florida.

Fifty-four years ago, both gave their best efforts to make us champions. Their dedication and hard work during games brought cheers from our coach, teammates and spectators. We are proud to call them friends. Congratulations!
