A ceremony honoring the inductees was held in between the boys and girls basketball game followed by a dinner at Bensalem Country Club.
The Bensalem High School Hall of Fame was conceived by Dr. James I. Bardsley, Jr. in 1967. He proposed that Bensalem High School Sports Association, Inc. endeavor to establish a lasting tribute to those athletes who contributed their time, talents, dedications, and self-discipline to the athletic programs of BHS. In 1986, a new committee decided to honor not only athletes, but also coaches and private citizens who significantly contributed to the high school athletic program.
