WHEELING — An all-time great running back and one of the Ohio Valley’s legendary basketball point-producers are the latest tandem to be chosen for the OVAC Hall of Fame.

Steubenville’s Courtney Snyder and Sistersville’s Richard Summers have been selected for induction into the OVAC shrine from the decade of the 1970s. Snyder and Summers will be formally honored on Saturday, Aug. 13 during the 18th annual induction ceremony.

This is the fourth announcement of honorees for the Class of 2022, and each week from here forward, an additional group will be released.

Already announced for the Class of 2022 were River’s D.J. Duke, Barnesville’s Stephanie Morgan, Steubenville Catholic’s Teddi Jo Maslowski, Cambridge’s Darin Ford, Wheeling Central’s Curtis McGhee, Buckeye Trail’s Lori Heady and Jeff Woofter of Oak Glen.

The OVAC Hall of Fame is sponsored by Robinson Auto Group. Here’s a capsule look at the latest honorees:

COURTNEY SNYDER, Steubenville (Class of 1973) – The 6-2, 190-pounder enjoyed a tremendous senior season for the Big Red, playing in a power-laden league that featured teams such as Massillon, Canton McKinley, Warren Harding and Niles McKinley.

Snyder rushed for 1,039 yards and 11 TDs in nine games as a senior, a season in which coach Abe Bryan’s Big Red went 7-3. He also landed 13 passes for 161 yards.

The legendary Steubenville grid boss called Snyder, “the best all-around back I’ve seen this year, including our opponents.”

Snyder garnered Class AAA All-State, All-OVAC, All-Valley and All-Eastern District grid honors.

He was also a standout for the Big Red hoop squad, earning first-team All-OVAC Class AAA plaudits.

The talented runner was recruited by a host of D-I schools, finally opting for Indiana University, coached by Lee Corso. Snyder scripted a tremendous career with the Hoosiers, earning a starting berth as a freshman.

Snyder hit the ground running in Bloomington, establishing school records for season and career rushing yards after his first three years. He was named first-team All-Big Ten as a sophomore, after gaining 1,254 yards, and being tagged second-team All-Big Ten team as a junior, after gaining 1,103 yards.

As fate would have it, his senior career was cut short in his first game after just five carries for 8 yards.

His career totals are 631 rushes for 2,789 yards. He was a Hoosier grid co-captain as a senior. He was featured on the cover of a preseason national media guide, promoting All-America and Heisman Trophy Award candidates.

Corso, now an ESPN Game Day celebrity, called Snyder, “the best running back I’ve ever coached.”

RICHARD SUMMERS, Sistersville (Class of 1978) – This basketball standout put up some prolific numbers while performing for the Tigers, earning the nickname “Radar Richard.”

Summers finished with 1,824 career points before heading off to Concord College where he played for three seasons.

The 6-2 dandy averaged a whopping 38.2 ppg as a senior (1978) the highest total since St. John Central’s Allan Hornyak’s 41.9 in 1969. As a result, he was the top scorer in the state that season.

That same season, Summers scored 74 points in a 113-88 win over Wirt County. Moreover, he also tallied games of 59, 55 and 54 that winter.

He was accorded first-team honors for the All-W. Va. Class A, OVAC Class A and All-Valley Small School teams.

As a junior, Summers averaged 26.1 points a game, seventh best in the state. He led the Tigers to a 20-5 campaign, falling to Gauley Bridge in the state semifinals. The talented sharpshooter was first-team All-W. Va., All-OVAC Class and All-Valley Small School.

Summers enjoyed a sparkling sophomore season, averaging 17.0 points a contest as Sistersville compiled a 21.3 campaign. He was a third-team All-Valley Small School selection.

Summers has also scripted a superb coaching resume, guiding the Tyler Consolidated volleyball team to much success.
