The resignation of longtime teacher and former football player Brad Miller has led the Karns City Area School District School Board to consider starting a sports hall of fame.

School board president Josh Price said at Thursday’s meeting that Miller’s exit from the district after a long history in supporting athletics following his high school career deserves to be recognized.

Superintendent Eric Ritzert said the topic has come up in discussion at board meetings before.

“We have what I would consider very good athletes, currently and formerly, who have gone on and done quite well,” Ritzert said. “You want to recognize people who have done well.”

Miller played football for Karns City Area Jr./Sr. High School until he graduated in 1998. He was a starting offensive tackle on the Gremlins football team that completed an undefeated regular season and District 9 championship before taking on Wilmington — the top-ranked team in Pennsylvania — in the 1997 state playoffs.
