The Mariposa County High School Grizzly Hall of Fame has announced its 2010 class of inductees. They will be honored at the foundation’s annual dinner on June 26.

Included in this year’s class are Gary Preston, John Rotondo (posthumously), Mike Moore and the 1983-84 and 1984-85 Grizzly basketball teams.

Preston, a member of the class of 1962, is being honored for his accomplishments on the baseball field. “Gary is arguably one of the top baseball players to play at MCHS during the 1950s and 60s,” Hall of Fame board member Trace DeSandres said.

Rotondo, a champion in establishing youth sports programs in Mariposa, was also the long-time director of the Mariposa County Parks and Recreation Department.

Moore graduated in 1992 and is the Grizzlies’ all-time leading scorer with over 2,000 points. He played four years of varsity baseball for the Grizzlies.

The basketball teams being honored were back-to-back Southern Athletic League champions. They combined to win 44 games with only eight losses in two years. Players on those teams include Vince Brown, Loren Dubberke, Ron Wagner, Aaron Matheson, Andrew Svendson, Mike Brosius, Mike Jordan, Doug Tucker, Mark Stelling, Rudy Sanchez, Jess Houtz, Robert Duran, Stephan Jay and manager Richie Lee.

Tickets for the Hall of Fame dinner are available from any board member, at Mariposa Feed and at the MARIPOSA GAZETTE.
