Bridgeport Hall set to welcome new class
This weekend promises to be an exciting one in the Bridgeport Exempted Village School District. On Friday night, the district will welcome 19 deserving individuals into its Hall/Wall of Fame. They will be recognized prior to the Bulldogs football game with Toronto on Perkins Field at Bill Jobko Stadium. The group includes the state championship 1959 wrestling team comprised of Art Hehr, Bobby Douglas, Mickey Bella, John Porter, Frank Cunningham, Walter Tolarczyk, Ted Weirzbicki, John Matusek, Larry Kazmirski, Ed Brown, Allen Ernes, Phil “Tiny” Ward and Denny Bowman; along with standout athletes Rob Munn, Brian Roskovich, Bob Mroczkowski, Harriet Scheid-Hunter and Bill Koss. This group will be the first to be formally inducted into the Bridgeport Hall/Wall of Fame. A dozen other athletes have had their pictures hung in the school’s lobby, but there was no such ceremony for them.
