Fagler/Fudala Memorial Gym dedicated
On Jan. 27, the new Laurel Highlands Middle School Gymnasium was officially dedicated Fagler/Fudala Memorial Gym. Voice of the Mustangs Barry Rosner was master of ceremonies, and Laurel Highlands girls basketball coach Rick Hauger was the guest speaker. Laurel Highlands Superintendent Dr. Ronald Sheba presented the families of Martin Fagler and Ronald Fudala, past basketball coaches in the Laurel Highlands School District, with the plaque that is now hanging in the gym. Fagler was the first assistant boys basketball coach and Fudala was the first junior varsity boys basketball coach after the formation of the Laurel Highlands School District in the 1966-67 school year.
