This week, we will recognize those being inducted in the Northville Athletic Hall of Fame.

As the Mayor of Northville, I congratulate all the Athletes, as well as their families & friends, for being part of this year’s class for the Northville Athletic Hall of Fame. Know that I speak for all Northvillians as I say, “We appreciate all that they’ve meant to our town … this Hamlet in the Hills, this Switzerland of the County that we call Northville.”

I would also like to thank all the Coaches, High School Athletic Staff and the Hall of Fame Directors for establishing this institution commemorating Northville’s exceptional student-athletes. We honor and recognize each of them for their pursuit of sports excellence and representing Northville as ambassadors of goodwill.

Stay #NORTHVILLESTRONG!

Keep that Orange & Black Northville Faith!
