Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory is honored to announce the 2022 inductees to our Athletic Hall of Fame. The class features four men and two women who competed or coached in seven different sports, as far back as 1964.

During his time at Sacred Heart, Frank received an All-City distinction for each of his four years on the gridiron. Frank helped lead the 1965 team to the Triple A Championship Title, a performance that caught the eye of the University of Wyoming, who ultimately offered Frank a football scholarship. Frank later transferred to the Santa Clara University where he received his bachelor’s degree, and then he went on to receive an MBA from Southern Oregon University.
