Leading the group of five alumni and two contributors to the sports programs at Bishop Moore were Minnesota Twins catcher Drew Butera and ESPN reporter Jenn Brown. Joining them in the Class of 2010 are Thomas Thompson, Christine Geltz, Danielle Guarneri, Dr. G. Vernon Hair and Don Rowe.
Butera graduated from Bishop Moore in 2002 and went on to play baseball at UCF. He helped the Twins win the American League Central Division and advance to the Major League Baseball postseason earlier this month.
Brown graduated from Bishop Moore in 1999 with more varsity letters than any student-athlete before her. She played seven sports in high school and earned 14 letters before going on to play four years of softball at the University of Florida.
Thompson (1960) was considered an all-around athlete who became the school's first individual state record holder while competing in the 100-yard dash. He was also a star on the football field.
Geltz (1987) played a key role in helping launch the school's tradition of soccer excellence as the captain and forward of the first girls program at Bishop Moore.
Guarneri (1993) finished her high school career as a three-time all-American diver. She went on to dive at Texas A&M, where she became the first female diver in Aggie history to earn multi All-American honors.
Dr. Hair coached the boys basketball team from 1983-90, while the smaller Bishop Moore Hornets were matched up against what was then known as the larger Orange Belt Conference.
Rowe was a former feeder-school coach at St. Margaret Mary Elementary School in Winter Park during the 1960s and 70s, and was recognized as a booster for helping groom future Bishop Moore student-athletes who came up through the Catholic school leagues.
The Bishop Moore Catholic High School Athletic Hall of Fame was established in 1992 and now has 40 members.
