The Summit County Sports Hall of Fame will induct its 52nd class in ceremonies at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Tangier restaurant in Akron.
Members of the Class of 2008 are: Marvin Beal, Jim Boeke, G. Thomas Floyd, Brian Hallett, Dan Hayes, Frank Longstreth, Calvin Moore, William Reppa, Dick Paige and Harry Reynolds.
Banquet tickets, at $35 each, are available at the Firestone Federal Credit Union, 1200 Firestone Parkway, Akron. For more details, call 330-379-6400 or 800-648-3328.
Here are brief biographies of two of the inductees:
• Boeke, from Cuyahoga Falls, was a standout football player and track athlete in high school and at Heidelberg College. He reached the National Football League, playing four seasons in the early 1960s with the Los Angeles Rams, then four more with the Dallas Cowboys and one with the New Orleans Saints.
He played in 119 NFL games, including the 1966 and 1967 NFL Championships pitting the Cowboys and Green Bay Packers. The 1967 game was the famous ''Ice Bowl'' played in sub-zero temperatures and won by the Packers in the waning seconds.
After football, Boeke became a member of the Screen Actors Guild and appeared in dozens of TV and movie productions, including Coach; Murder, She Wrote; and M*A*S*H*.
• Hallett, a 1998 Norton High graduate, was an All-Ohio lineman, All-Ohio wrestler, state champion shot putter and a state champion powerlifter.
He then earned All-Mid-American Conference honors in football and track at Kent State, where he was a four-year starter as an offensive lineman for the Golden Flashes football team and also a standout in shot put and discus.
Hallett won a total of seven shot and discus titles in indoor and outdoor MAC Championships and still holds the school record for the shot put. He later qualified for the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Trials.
