Comments
Disappointed that the First Annual Loch Raven Senior Hall of Fame has left off many of the skilled athelete's who started Loch Raven's dominance in sports starting with inception in the year 1974. There was no mention of any of the soccer players from 1974-1977 who put Loch Raven on the map as a soccer powerhouse and received media attention throughout the 1970's. Chris Lanahan, for one, was instrumental in Loch Raven's success in the early years in soccer. His picture and articles in the Baltimore Sun were numerous between the years 1975-1977. He was one of the first all-american soccer players for Loch Raven.
The selection committee should be able to research the athletes that participated in Loch Raven athletics from inception. It was sad to see that only a few male athletes were selected and some of the most prominate coaches were missed.
