Sports grants

The Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame will continue in its tradition of supporting youth sports by offering grants to youth sports organizations through its BASHOF Youth Fund.

The grants are available for purchasing sports equipment. Applications for the grants must be completed and returned by Dec. 31.

The Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame has provided over $1,325,000 to youth sports organizations in the nine counties of the Bay Area. Last summer, the fund provided grants to 48 different groups.

Grants will be distributed in the summer of 1998. For more information, call 1-415-352-8835.

Bellarmine honors

Five former Bellarmine Prep star athletes joined an exclusive club last month when they were named to the school's Athletic Hall of Fame.

Tim Harper, John Bambury, John Schwartz, Larry Seeger and Mike Lowney were inducted into the school's hall, and the unbeaten football team of 1946 was paid a special tribute when ceremonies were held Nov. 13 at the school.

Bambury was a track star for the Bells in 1963 and '64, Harper and Seeger were standout baseball players at Bellarmine, and Schwartz was a top football player at the San Jose school.

Lowney, a Willow Glen resident who teaches at Bellarmine, was selected in a special category. Lowney coached football for 20 years at Bellarmine, working with players at the freshman, junior varsity and varsity levels.

Youth basketball

Sign-ups are now being accepted from boys and girls in the first through eighth grades interested in playing youth basketball this winter.

Players must either live in Sunnyvale or attend Sunnyvale school to be eligible. League play begins in January and the cost is $64 per player.

For more information, call Darrin Connolly at 730-7721.
