The Cardinal Dougherty Soccer Hall of Fame is back.
After a few years off due to the pandemic, the committee announced its class of 2022 earlier this summer during the annual alumni game, which is played during the Cardinal Dougherty High School all-class reunion in North Wildwood.
This year marks the sixth installment of the hall of fame, and the committee made some great selections.
All honorees will be enshrined on Nov. 11 at the FOP Lodge 5, and all honorees will receive a garnet jacket and a crystal soccer ball.
Here’s a look at this year’s inductees.
