Christensen, Love, Harris, Vaughn 2020 Uland winners

Seniors Chase Christensen and Madilyn Love of Clearview High School, along with seniors Ta’Lia Harris and Joseph Vaughn of Lorain High School, have been named winners of the 2020 J. Ed Uland Award scholarships by the Lorain Sports Hall of Fame.  The awards recognize the outstanding male and female scholar-athletes from each high school in the city of Lorain. The selection process is based on demonstrated excellence in athletics, academics, leadership, and community service.  Each of these areas is considered of equal value and importance in making the selection.  The students selected must be seniors. Congratulations to this year’s four winners. Uland Award winners normally are announced at the LSHOF Enshrinement Banquet in May, but the 2020 banquet had to be postponed because of the Covid-19 virus pandemic.

LSHOF Enshrinement Banquet rescheduled to May 8, 2021

Dear Inductee, I am writing this letter with a heavy heart. As I am sure you are already aware, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has meant that it’s now vital to limit social contact and avoid gathering. For that reason, we’ve made the difficult decision to, and I hate to say cancel, so I will just say, have a longer postponement of the 2020 Lorain Sports Hall of Fame Banquet. While we know this is disappointing, we hope you can understand the steps we’re taking to help keep our inductees and their supporters safe.

We are devastated to share this news with you. “The show must go on” is in our DNA, and this is the first time in 50 years that the May event will not take place on time. We are now working through the ramifications of this unprecedented situation. The date for the rescheduled banquet will be May 8, 2021, still at German’s Villa.

I would like to share the reasoning used to justify the postponement. Previous LSHOF banquets have hosted over 500 guests and we had no reason to believe this year would be any different. The health board has limited all local venues to less than 300 persons. I would never tell inductees that they have to limit family, friends, and other supporters that want to honor their great athletic achievements. The health board also made it clear that there will be no standing in groups socializing, but we have scheduled 1½ hours in all our banquets for that exact purpose; this event is held so people can get together and socialize.

Please drop me a line with any comment you may have. And thank you for your understanding.
