Hall of Fame Luncheon-
The Catholic Business Network of Montgomery County held its 11th Annual Youth Coaches Hall of Fame Luncheon on April 22, 2010 at the Georgetown Prep Hanley Center. Each year the CBN-MC honors men and women who have volunteered years of their time and talent as youth coaches in our area.
The Honorees for 2010, Michael Crilley - Blessed Sacrament, Gil DiGoia - St. Elizabeth, and Jack Railey - Blessed Sacrament were inducted by John Treseler, past CBN-MC president and master of ceremonies, and Bill Gessner, the current CBN-MC president. Each Honoree received a plaque depicting his volunteer career. From Biddy Ball to CYO, high school varsity and on to fundraising golf tournaments, the award winners have a combined volunteer youth coaching resume in excess of fifty years and have left an indelible mark on the youth of Montgomery County through their efforts.

During that period Mr. Patsos helped to guide the Terapins to 11 consecutive NCAA appearances, consecutive trips to the final four in 2001 and 2002 and the 2002 NCAA National Championship. More than 150 guests enjoyed humorous recollections of Coach Patsos' career as a college player and coach.
