The Lion Grid Iron Club is proud to announce our 2024 Ring of Honor Inductees:
Don Webster, Former Athletic Director
Michele Mensch, ATC
1998 Undefeated Rutgers Trophy Team
Our first inductee is Don Webster, former Athletic Director at Longwood High School. Mr. Webster oversaw the hirings of fellow inductees Coach Kevin McCarthy and Coach Joe Cipp III. He had an eye for talent, and Longwood Athletics - especially the football program - flourished under his watch. We are very excited to celebrate Mr. Webster this summer.
Our second inductee is Michele Mensch, ATC. If you are a Longwood Athlete you more than likely know Michele very well. Since the 90's Michele has been taking care of our football program by keeping them on the field and going above and beyond. Her reputation and relationships in the county has created one of the best athletic training facilities on Long Island. A Longwood Alumni herself, she is integral to the success of the Longwood Football program and has always been an advocate for safely keeping our players on the field. To say she is deserving would be an understatement, and we can't wait to celebrate her in July.
The last inductees into the Longwood Football Ring of Honor is the 1998 Undefeated Rutgers Trophy Team. Led by Ring of Honor member Coach Joe Cipp III, this Lion group went 11-0 - steamrolling opponents and eventually defeated a loaded Massapequa Chiefs team to cement themselves as one of the best ever. We can't wait to get those teammates together and relive the glory days this summer.
Our Ring of Honor inductees will be honored at the dinner portion of the 8th Annual Lion Grid Iron Club Scholarship Golf Outing. Dinner will begin at approximately 6:30 p.m. and is $90 per person, which includes buffet dinner and open bar.
We look forward to reminiscing this summer, and celebrating these extraordinary individuals!
