🏆 HELP SUPPORT DELONE CATHOLIC IN THE ADAMS COUNTY SPORTS HALL OF FAME! 🏆

Friends, time is short, and I’m asking our Delone Catholic family, alumni, and friends to help make sure Delone is well represented in the 2026 Adams County Sports Hall of Fame class!

This year, four outstanding Delone Catholic graduates are among the nominees:

⭐ Sarah Gates-Adams
⭐ James “Jimmy” Smith
⭐ Jennifer Poist
⭐ Andy O’Brien

If you are already a dues-paying member of the Adams County Sports Hall of Fame, please make sure to cast your ballot.

If you are not yet a member, you can still participate. Annual membership is only $15, or you can become a lifetime member for $150. Membership not only supports the Hall of Fame and the preservation of our local sports history, but also gives you the opportunity to vote for inductees and nominate future candidates.

🗳️ HOW TO VOTE

Each member may vote for five living nominees and one deceased nominee.

If you need a ballot, email Chapter Historian Ed Riggs at [email protected].

Your completed ballot, along with your membership dues if needed, must be postmarked by September 4.

Checks should be made payable to ACSHOF.

📖 READ THE NOMINEES’ BIOS

Before you vote, I encourage you to take a few minutes to learn about all of the candidates and their accomplishments.

Visit the Adams County Sports Hall of Fame website to read the nominees’ biographies and learn more about the Hall of Fame:

Personally, I’ll never forget watching Jimmy Smith as a young football player and wrestler. He certainly had tremendous athletic talent, but what stood out to me just as much was his character and integrity. Those qualities are an important part of what the Hall of Fame represents.

I encourage you to read Jimmy’s story, along with the biographies of Sarah Gates-Adams, Jennifer Poist, Andy O’Brien, and all of this year’s nominees.

This is a great opportunity to recognize people who have made a difference through athletics, leadership, character, and their impact on our community.

Let’s come together, spread the word, cast our ballots, and help make sure Delone Catholic is represented in the 2026 Adams County Sports Hall of Fame class! 🏆

Please SHARE THIS POST with other Delone alumni, families, friends, former athletes, coaches, and anyone who may already be a Hall of Fame member.

🔹 Annual membership: $15
🔹 Lifetime membership: $150

Celebrating Our 2026 Graduating Scholarship Senior — Keira Slonaker

Hello! I'm Anna McIntire, Paige's mom.

I'd love to invite you to join us for a special evening as we support Paige's mission with NET Ministries!

📅 Saturday, July 25, 2026
🕕 6:00–8:00 PM
📍 @ Saint Teresa of Calcutta Catholic School Gym

Paige will be sharing stories about her first year serving as a NET Ministries missionary, and you'll have the opportunity to hear firsthand how God has been working through her ministry. Some of her fellow NET missionaries are also planning to attend to answer questions and share about their own experiences.

I'm also excited to share that Paige has discerned God's call to serve a second year with NET Ministries here in the United States! She won't receive her assignment until the end of August, and we're so grateful for everyone's prayers and support.

This is a family fundraiser to help Paige reach her $10,000 mission goal for her second year of service.

The evening will include:
🎤 Paige's mission presentation
💬 Q&A session
🌭 Snacks and refreshments
🎉 Bingo
🔥 Games & Bonfire

Whether you've been praying for Paige, would like to learn more about NET Ministries, or simply want to enjoy a fun evening with family and friends, we'd love to see you there. Seeing familiar faces would mean so much to Paige!

Please join us for an evening of faith, fellowship, fun, and support as we help send Paige on another year of sharing Christ with young people.
