Scott Willet

swilletScott Willet is unique among his fellow inductees in the Hall of Fame.

He did not play organized sports prior to high school and played only one sport while he was there.

Yet he certainly made the most of it, collecting honors that few in the Hall can match.

Although he did not make the middle school soccer team, Coach Dan Sullivan recognized his talent when he walked through the door on South Elm Street.
