VIENNA - The Mid-Ohio Valley Sports Hall of Fame welcomed 10 new members to its ranks Saturday night at an induction dinner at Grand Pointe Conference Center.

The Class of 2009 inductees were Bill Bonar and Sam Gwinn from Marietta; Andi Daniels, Dave Miller, Joe Crislip and Dave Winans from Parkersburg; Rick Petty and Jack Jones from Williamstown; Jeff Corder from Ravenswood; and the late Jimmy Buzzard from Pennsboro.

Bonar, a successful football coach at Marietta High School followed by being the Tigers' athletic director, held a 60-year record versus Notre Dame as a Tulane quarterback with a 77-yard touchdown pass while Gwinn immersed himself in bettering sports opportunities for youth in Marietta for almost four decades.

Ben Hammett, himself a MOV Hall of Fame inductee two years ago, accepted the plaque for Buzzard, who died in 2007, and talked about his longtime friend. ''We grew up together, starting as little kids,'' said Hammett, whose dad Gale Hammett coached Buzzard, a multi-sport star at Pennsboro High School.

''Jim does deserve this award,'' said Ben Hammett. ''And my dad would say Jim was one of the finest athletes he coached at Pennsboro.''

Corder, who was 88-3-2 in four years as a wrestler at Ravenswood High School, said the induction ''is really a great honor for me,'' and praised his parents as ''my best fans in sports then, and my biggest fans in life now.''

Crislip, a former standout athlete at Parkersburg South who returned to his alma mater to coach the Patriots to the 2003 West Virginia Class AAA boys basketball state championship, called his induction ''a neat thing.''

''Sports teaches you so much about life - about winning and losing, about how to deal with lows and highs,'' continued Crislip, who joined his brother Terry, inducted just last year, as the only brother combination in the MOV Hall of Fame.

Andi Daniels, part of four state championship teams in three sports (basketball, track and volleyball) at Parkersburg High School, ''had a hard time deciding on my greatest memory in sports, but now that I've received this honor, I'd say it my best ever.''

Jones, the godfather of track in Williamstown, said his induction was ''one of the most exciting moments of my life,'' while Miller, a two-time state wrestling champion at South, commented that he ''was very fortunate to wrestle in this town because Parkersburg always loved wrestling.''

Petty, a Kennedy Award winner who averaged 10 yards per carry in his high school football career at Williamstown, dedicated his induction to the ''11 guys I played with from the first grade through the 12th. If not for them, I wouldn't be standing here today.''

Winans, a two-time first-team all-stater and Hunt Award winner at Parkersburg High, was going to ''thank all the coaches I had who made this possible,'' but stopped short of that, saying ''well, not all of them.''

Given the yearly Bob Zide Foundation scholarship awards at the banquet Saturday were seniors John Logue from Belpre High School for Ohio and Sarah Smith of Wirt County High School for West Virginia.
