In its 15th year, the Hall recognizes and perserves the heritage of Vermont high school sports. Members inducted have distinguished themselves through service, contributions and achievements in programs sponsored by the VPA. This year’s inductees will be honored during a cermony scheduled for May 13 at the Capitol Plaza Hotel Plaza and Conference Center in Montpelier.
Longtime Windsor High boys basketball coach Harry Ladue will enter the hall, having topped the career 400-win plateau this past season in guiding the Yellowjackets to the Vermont Division III semifinals. Ladue’s teams have won four Vermont state championships and made a total of 11 appearances in the state semifinals.
Windsor High graduate Ryan Hingston is also hall-bound in the student-athlete category. Hingston. who graduated in 2002, scored more than 1,000 points in his high school basketball career and made three summertime all-star games, including the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl football contest, in which he scored a touchdown for Vermont. Hingston was also a standout catcher at Windsor, where he batted better than .400 and eventually earned a spot on the school’s athletic wall of fame.

Princeton,n.j.
The Chatham, N.J., native had nine goals on the week, six of them in Sunday’s 10-9 defeat of the 16th-ranked Quakers at Scully-Fahey Field. Her remaining scores came in a midweek loss to No. 8 Southern California. Leto also had three ground balls, four draw controls and three caused turnovers for the week.
Defensive honors, shared with Princeton’s Ellie DeGarmo, came from her play at the end of the Penn game. Leto knocked down a Quaker centering pass and secured the ensuing ground ball in the final seconds to lock down the one-goal win. The victory was Dartmouth’s first against Penn in four years.
