To the best of my knowledge, Wayne Central does not have a basketball Hall of Fame. I believe Soccer and Wrestling do, and I’m not sure if there are any others. I don’t believe either of those Halls of Fame are officially sanctioned by the school district, which is OK, I doubt they usually are.
I would like to see a Hall of Fame for Wayne Basketball one day. I know it would take someone to get it off the ground. I don’t think that person is me.
When I started this website, a couple of times I called Bernie Porray and visited him at his home. We talked about many things. No one has watched more Wayne Central Basketball games than Bernie. Knowing Bernie was advanced in age, whether a Hall of Fame was in the future or not, I asked him to make a list of players he thought were worthy. I’m not sure, but I think I asked him at my first visit, and he scribbled down some names and gave it to me on the next visit. Unfortunately, he only gave me names for a boys team. But it is better than nothing. This was probably 1999 or so, I’m not sure. I know he passed away shortly afterward.
I’m not sure what year he stopped attending games, but I have a list of names from Bernie. If anyone wants to start a Wayne Basketball Hall of Fame, maybe I can at least pass along Bernie’s list.
