Here’s a capsule look at the latest selections:

JIM CAPITO, Bellaire (Class of 1958) — A school and Ohio Valley sprint and jump record-setter, he earned three All-Valley track honors including four events as a senior: 100-yard, 220-yard and 440-yard dashes and long jump.

As a senior, he set three Big Reds’ school records in the 220 (22.0), 440 (50.8) and in the long jump (23-10 1/2), an Ohio Valley record which lasted 30 years until 1988. He was the individual top scorer in three major meets — OVAC, Bellaire Relays and the District meet qualifier for the Ohio state meet, where a leg injury ended his prep career.

He set OVAC records in the 100, 220 and long jump. At the prestigious Bellaire Relays, he won the 100, 220 and set a meet record of 51.25 in the 440.

As a junior, the Big Red was All-Valley in three events and placed 7th in the 220 at the Ohio meet. He also set an OVAC and Martins Ferry Relays 220 standard and set two Bellaire Relays records. He anchored a school-record 880-yard relay unit mark of 1:33.8.

In his sophomore season, he tied the 220-yard mark of 23.3 at the Bellaire Relays, the area’s top invitational regular season meet during that era.

He also was a member of Big Reds’ football and basketball teams.

His track exploits started as a freshman when he was the individual top scorer in the OVAC Freshman Meet by winning the 100 and 220 sprints, anchoring the winning sprint relay unit and placing second in the long jump.

ROGER HOLDINSKY, Moundsville (Class of 1958) –Football and track were his best sports but he competed in four sports as a Trojan and three sports at West Virginia U.

As a prep senior, he led the Trojans to a 9-1 record and was 1st Team All-State largest Class AA, All-OVAC 1st Team, and co-captain of the All-Valley “Big School” selections. He led state largest class scoring with 129 points while “Mr. Everything”, according to All-State release, also passed, quick kicked, punted, kicked off and booted conversions, and played defense. He rushed for 1,106 yards on 163 carries (6.8 avg.).

The Trojan flash scored 19 TDs, added 125 PATs and passed for two TDs. He averaged 50.7 yards on seven quick kicks and intercepted eight passes on defense. He amassed 1,753 all-purpose yards in 10 games for rushing, passing, returns and interceptions.

He also was captain, and top scorer, as a senior basketball player. A four-year football and basketball performer, he also competed two each year in baseball and track, where he was a sprinter, jumper and pole vaulter.

The 5-foot-11, 160-pounder earned a football scholarship to West Virginia U., where he not only was a four-year performer (one freshman team, three varsity letters as a two-way back and kick returner) and WVU’s first varsity athlete to letter in three unrelated sports in several years.

He was a record-setting track sprinter-jumper with a school-record 21.5 seconds for 220 yards and 46-foot, 4-inches for the hop, step and jump. He won the Southern Conference 220 as a senior and was WVU’s top track scorer his last two years. He also lettered in swimming and earned WVU’s “Outstanding Minor Sports Athlete” award for 1962.

Despite his size, he was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the 15th Round (210 overall pick) of the 1962 NFL Draft but opted to return home for employment.
