The Eagle River/Northland Pines High School Athletic Hall of Fame Committee will induct two standout athletes, a coach and several longtime hockey managers to the hall on Friday, August 17th.
The athletes to be inducted are Kent Gray, who played football at Pines from 1979 through 1981, and 1970 graduate Veryl Krosschell, along with baseball coach Jerry Adamovich. The three will be joined by eight members of the Zyhowski family who were hockey managers at Pines since the 1970s.
Kent William Gray played football at Northland Pines High School his freshman through junior years before transferring to Ashwaubenon High School his senior year. At Northland Pines, he became the starting varsity fullback his sophomore year. As a junior, Gray was moved to defensive nose guard and tight end. He received honorable mention in the Lumberjack Conference in 1980 and was first team all-conference in 1981 as a junior, when the Eagles won the conference championship with a 6-0 record and finished the regular season 10-0.
Veryl Krosschell, a 1970 graduate of Eagle River Union High School, was a three-sport athlete in high school. While he excelled in basketball, Krosschell also played football and baseball for the Eagles. On the basketball court, the 6-foot-5 Krosschell led the Eagles in scoring his senior year with 525 points in 16 Northern Lakes Conference games, averaging 32 points a game.
Jerry Adamovich, along with Mary Birchbee and Larry Stecker, was instrumental in getting baseball reintroduced as a high school sport at Northland Pines High School in 1988. Adamovich went on to coach the Eagles baseball team from 1988 through 1998. During that period, the Eagles won Lumberjack Conference championships in 1993, 1994 and 1997. Northland Pines also won WIAA Regional playoffs in 1994 and 1995, and was the runner-up in the Sectional finals in 1994 and 1995.
Members of the Zyhowski family will be inducted in the citation category for supporting Northland Pines hockey as managers. They include: Raymond, Eric, Steven, Alan, Joe, Karl Nathan and Nicolas.
The hall of fame committee invites friends, classmates, teammates and family members of all inductees to the hall of fame induction ceremony set for Friday, August 17th prior to the Northland Pines football game against Wittenberg-Birnamwood. The induction will start at 4:30 p.m. in the auditorium, followed by the game at 7 p.m.
The Eagle River/Northland Pines High School Athletic Hall of Fame always seeks donations to cover the expenses of the ceremony and plaques. Sponsorship fees are $100 for corporations and $25 for individuals. All corporate sponsors will be recognized at the ceremony and in the program. Sponsorships can be mailed to Tom Dunphy, P.O.

Strong Bodies Program
The Pines Community Wellness Center will be offering the Strong Bodies Program, a 10-week exercise program for middle-aged and older women and men, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. in the Exercise Room located in the Wellness Center of the Northland Pines High School building. The next series will begin on Tuesday, September 11th through November 15th, 2018. At this time there are openings in the 1:00 p.m. class only.
Prior to the class, an optional half-hour of warm-ups will be held. Each class includes progressive weight training, flexibility and balance activities. The cost of the program is $50.00 for the 10-week session.
The series will be led by Julie Anderson and Karen Margelofsky who have been certified in the Strong Bodies program. The Vilas County Public Health Department is working in conjunction with the Pines Community Wellness Center to offer this program to the community.
“The class was made more enjoyable because of the fun we had as a group. A lot of funny and nice people! Laughter is a great exercise!” commented one of the class members.
Another member indicated that “All the exercises are appropriate and totally beneficial. I have made improvements in balance and core strength. Mentally and socially the program is a gift to me! The program is the complete package!”
The Program was developed by Miriam Nelson, PhD, an associate professor at the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University. It is based upon years of research on how strength training and proper nutrition improve the health of all ages. “Strength is a critical factor in living healthier, more active lives. Our research shows that a program of strength training not only improves bone density but reduces falls, improves arthritis symptoms, and increases flexibility and strength,” states Dr. Nelson. The program is appropriate for both sedentary and very active people.
To sign up for this session and for more information on the Strong Bodies Program please contact Julie Anderson at 715-479-4473, Ext. 3350. The Northland Pines High School is located at 1800 Pleasure Island Road in Eagle River.
