Super Bowl 50th Annivesary High School Honor Roll Ceremony at Moorestown High School

Moorestown, NJ -- As part of the nationwide Super Bowl 50th Ceremony Dave Robinson NFL Hall of “Famer” and MHS class of ‘57, will be presenting to Moorestown High School a NFL Hall of Fame golden football at half time of the boys’ basketball game vs NBC on January 5, 2016.

The NFL launched the Super Bowl High School Honor Roll initiative recognizing schools and communities that contributed to Super Bowl history and positively impacted the game of football.

High schools across the nation, and around the world, will receive a commemorative Wilson Golden Football for every player or head coach who graduated from their school and was on an active Super Bowl roster.

Nearly 3,000 players and head coaches, and more than 2,000 high schools, will be recognized. Players and coaches have the opportunity to personally deliver golden footballs.

The NFL Foundation will provide the schools with a new character education curriculum and the opportunity to apply for grants of up to $5,000 to help support and grow their football programs. The NFL Foundation has invested $1 million towards the campaign.

In addition, the Athletic Department will be teaming with the Historical Society of Moorestown, who will display some of the material from their popular “Sports Legends of Moorestown” exhibit.

The exhibit, which originally opened back in 2010, featured numerous rare photographs and traced the exploits of some of Moorestown’s greatest athletes.

Included in the exhibit are the stories of people like Walter French, one of only two men to have won both a World Series (1929 Philadelphia A’s) and an NFL Championship (1925 Pottsville Maroons), Al LeConey who won a gold medal in the 1924 Olympics, and Joe Burk, considered by many to have been America’s greatest rower and winner of the 1939 Sullivan Award as the nation’s greatest amateur athlete.

Of course also prominently featured is the evening’s guest of honor Hall of Famer, Dave Robinson. In all the original exhibit included over 60 legendary athletes and coaches, most of which will be on display on Tuesday evening.

The exhibit will be on display in the Moorestown Athletic Center (MAC) lobby at the high school during the school day for students & staff to stop to see. At 2:30 p.m. the exhibit will be open to the public.
