Bay Shore Native To Be Inducted Into Suffolk Sports Hall Of Fame

SUFFOLK COUNTY, NY - The Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame has announced the Class of 2020 inductees on Friday, and among those to be chosen to receive the honor was Bay Shore native Andy Slawson.

Slawson was among the 20 chosen to be inducted into this year's Hall of Fame, which honors people who have made substantial contributions on behalf of themselves and Suffolk County in sports.

He is best known for his decades of service to high school sports on Long Island as a historian and statistician for Newsday. He has built a reputation among the football and wrestling communities as the go-to source for all sports information, and also has a wealth of knowledge and resources for all scholastic sports.

Slawson and the other inductees will be honored in a ceremony on May 26 at Watermill Caterers in Smithtown. The Hall of Fame is celebrating its 30th Anniversary in 2020.

"This is a very special year for the Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame," Chris R. Vaccaro, Executive Director of the Hall said. "We are celebrating a major anniversary, while honoring an all-star induction class. These are some of the finest individuals to represent not only Suffolk County, but their respective sports and organizations at-large."

Congratulations to Andy Slawson!
