Bellarmine honors grads

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.

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.

Lowney is in his 28th year at Bellarmine, teaching biology and chemistry. He also supervises the school's weight room and continues to provide support for the Bellarmine football teams.

Lowney played football and basketball and also ran track as a high school athlete at Central High in Butte, Mont.

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.

The inductees join the 112 men who have already earned places in the Bellarmine Hall of Fame.

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 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.
