Coach Fontana Inducted to Hall of Fame

        As Hamden Hall prepares to stage its second athletic Hall of Fame ceremony honoring the achievements of outstanding alums, one of our own has been recognized and will be inducted to his high school Hall of Fame. Saturday evening, Joe Fontana, our long time baseball coach and Assistant Athletic Director, will be inducted into the Westerly High School (RI) Athletic Hall of Fame. Mr. Fontana was an outstanding soccer player, a three year starter, earning All Division honors twice. He scored 40 goals in his career, including 19 in his senior year when he was also named to the All State team. He intended to continue to play in college, having been recruited by the University of Rhode Island; however, a knee injury unfortunately brought his playing career to an end. Mr. Fontana also played baseball and was second-team All Division his junior year, providing him with a love and experience for the sport that has helped him create such an outstanding baseball program here at Hamden Hall. Congratulations Coach Fontana!
