THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, NOVEmbEr 1, 2024 Page 3 ~The Advocate Asks~ A panel picks its “Terrifi c Twenty-Five” among Saugus High School Sports Hall of Famers Editor’s Note: With 10 former Sachem Sports Greats scheduled to be inducted tomorrow (Saturday, Nov. 2) into the Saugus High School Sports Hall of Fame, we decided to assemble a group of local sports experts to compile a list of 10 top Sachem athletes to add to the list we published in a Dec. 1, 2017, article titled “The Fabulous 15.” Those athletes stood out as the greatest Sachems of all time among the more than 200 athletes who had already been inducted since 1987. This year’s panel includes several former coaches and Hall of Fame Committee members who participated in the 2017 selection. Our list doesn’t rank the Saugus Hall of Famers individually. And there’s certainly room for argument on behalf of athletes who didn’t make the list. The purpose is to spur some discussion and pride among Sachem sports fans about sports greats of the past as the Sachem High School Sports Hall of Fame prepares to welcome 10 more outstanding former student athletes who competed for Saugus High School. H ere are The Saugus Advocate’s “Terrific Twenty-Five” – whose names are among dozens inscribed on plaques for people who make up the Saugus High School Sports Hall of Fame.
