Four former St. Joseph’s College athletes and an administrator will be inducted into the college’s Athletics Hall of Fame at a banquet Nov. 12.

This year’s class includes the first husband-and-wife duo to enter the Hall — basketball standouts Mike McDevitt (Class of 1983) and Margaret (O’Brion) McDevitt (1982).

The other inductees are Stacy Gelinas (2002, women’s basketball), Randy Henry (1998, baseball) and Fred Stone (administrator).

Tickets for the ceremony are $30 for adults and $10 for children under 12, and should be purchased by Nov. 4. The evening starts with a cocktail reception at 5 p.m. in the Harold Alfond Center, followed by dinner and the induction ceremony at 6:30 p.m. in the Mercy Dining Hall.
