Here’s a capsule look at the 1960’s honorees:

PAT KORSNICK, Wheeling Central (Class of 1968)– One of the most honored football/baseball athletes in Maroon Knight history, the 5-foot-10, 180-pounder earned a Division I football scholarship and played both football and baseball in college after being drafted for pro baseball out of high school.

The three-year regular quarterback-defensive back-punter-placekicker led Central to records of 9-0-1, 8-2-1 and the school’s first perfect season (10-0) as a senior. He earned every available honor his final year — 1st team largest Class AAA all-state, repeat 1st team “Big School” All-Valley and selected captain, and All-OVAC largest Class AAA for the OVAC title team. The unbeaten Knights were acclaimed state Catholic Schools champion for a third straight year without a playoff because of a dominant, spotless season (8 shutouts, outscored foes by 285-21).

In his junior season, Central defeated Madonna, 46-6 in the state Catholic title game.

As a senior, he completed 64 passes for 1,096 yards and 8 TDs and rushed 78 times for 403 yards and 20 TDs. He also kicked 11 PATs. As a junior, he passed for 790 yards and 11 TDs with no interceptions and rushed 66 times for 473 yards. In the title game vs. Madonna, he was 8-for-8 passing for 165 yards and two TDs.

In baseball, he earned 1st team, all-class All-State honors both as a junior and senior outfielder. He batted .480 as a junior and .458 as a senior. He was selected co-captain of the 1st All-Valley, all-class selections by The Intelligencer as a senior.

He was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds after his senior season, but instead opted for a football scholarship to Purdue University.

He attended Purdue for a year before transferring to North Carolina State where he played football three years as a quarterback-punter and baseball as an outfielder.

GERALD SCHULTZE, Wheeling (Class of 1969) –He was an All-Valley and All-State player in three sports and became an All-American football center at West Virginia University.

At Wheeling High, he was a 6-foot, 200-pound football center-linebacker, a heavyweight wrestler, and track shot-putter. As a senior, in football, he earned 1st Team All-Valley “Big School” center, 1st Team All-OVAC Class AAA, and 2nd Team All-State largest Class AAA.

In wrestling, the Wildcats won the W.Va. one-class state title his senior year as he placed 4th in the heavyweight division after being runner-up in the OVAC Tournament.

In track, his best shot put was 54-5 3/4 to win the Brooke Relays, just shy of the OV record of 55-4. He placed 2nd in the OVAC meet and the state Class AAA meet with a 52-2 toss. He earned All-Valley Track honors from the News-Register.

He received a football grant-in-aid to West Virginia University. After starting at linebacker pn the WVU freshman team (frosh weren’t eligible for varsity at the time), he was switched to center and lettered three years–the last two as a starter, for the Mountaineers.

He was selected a 3rd Team All-American as a senior center by The Associated Press and also was awarded the Meisel Award for top academic WVU senior football player. He played on three teams coached by College Football Hall of Famer Bobby Bowden with records of 8-3, 7-4 and 8-4.
