The ceremony will take place at 3 p.m. in Lamade Gym.

The 2012 MAC Defensive Player of the Year, Bukasa enjoyed a career where he earned three all-conference honors and he also earned an All-American nod as a junior from Beyond College Sports Network.

Bukasa, a d3Football.com second-team All-East Region pick and a first-team All-MAC selection in 2012, led the Warriors and finished seventh in the league with 7.8 tackles and 0.33 interceptions per game, the only player in the top 10 in both categories. Leading the team with 70 tackles, he had five or more tackles in each of his first eight games.

• A versatile tight end with the ability to make plays with his hands and through his blocking, Hennigar is Lycoming football’s first tight end to earn induction into the Athletics Hall of Fame since Vic Olear ’91 was inducted in 2002.

By his senior year, Hennigar was named third-team SID All-American and Third Team Don Hansen Football Gazette All-Region selection at tight end. He recorded 52 catches for 528 yards and seven touchdowns as a senior. He was named to the D3football.com Team of the Week that season after notching five catches for 114 yards, including a 30-yard touchdown in a 38-21 win over Albright. That season, he helped the Warriors win the 13th MAC title in head coach Frank Girardi’s career and helped the team make a trip to the NCAA quarterfinals.

Perhaps his greatest achievement was playing that season with the grief after losing his brother, Greg, to a car accident that summer. He then led the team in the NCAA quarterfinals with five catches and a touchdown, a day after the passing of his Father Judge High School and college teammate, Ricky Lannetti.

Mueller’s 375 points were the most for a Warrior since 2001-02 and she was the first Warrior to post three straight 300-point seasons since 2000-02.

Her 252 rebounds as a senior were the most since 1994-95 and she is just the second player in program history and the first since 1982-83 to post back-to-back 200-rebound seasons. During her senior season, Mueller notched 12 double-doubles, the second-most in program history. She scored in double figures 21 times, topped 20 points five times and tallied three straight double-doubles two different times.

She finished her career with a school-record 102 games started, 1,266 career points (fifth in school history), 741 rebounds (fourth), 150 steals (11th) and 103 blocks (fourth).

• The key piece in helping make the Lycoming volleyball team a perennial contender in the MAC Commonwealth, Richardson helped the Warriors to an average of more than 20 wins per year during her career.

He was a perfect 8-0 during the postseason, starting as the No. 2 seed at the NCAA Southeast Regional in the Keiper Recreation Center. After a technical fall and a pin on the first day of the tournament, he downed eighth-ranked Paul Triandafilou of Gettysburg, 3-0, in the semifinals to earn a bid to the national tournament.

• When Zimmerman passed away in 2010, he left behind a long history of memories that he was a part of as the Voice of the football and basketball programs for parts of four decades.

Zimmerman had served as the Warriors’ football PA announcer for the past 37 years, joining legendary coach Frank Girardi in his first year on the corner of Packer and Mulberry streets in 1972. As both taught at Williamsport High School, it was a natural move for Zimmerman, who was already doing public address work for the Millionaires, to make the move to then-College Field when Girardi took over as coach.

Zimmerman was at the mic for many of the football program’s greatest moments – including when the Warriors beat Upsala, 12-10, on Oct. 28, 1978, to win their first Middle Atlantic Conference title and saw the Warriors win 15 more league titles. He was also at the mic during Lycoming’s 28-20 upset of Rowan in the national semifinals in 1997 and he was the voice of the Warriors during two runs to the national championship game and 10 NCAA Tournament wins at David Person Field.
