Hall of Famers Pat Flanagan, Patti Gilmore, Pat Berbakos and Larry Sheridan are still busy in their respective sports. Einstein is well represented out there in the county and Einstein is grateful to have two of its HOF members back on the same field where they stood out during their prep careers.

Patti (Langworthy) Gilmore's

Blake High Bengals Girls Basketball Team

went 13-9 and 10-0 in their division during the 2010-2011 regular season to win the 2A/3A East Division. They advanced through to the regional tournament before losing in the quarterfinals. Last year she took her team to the regional final to further cement their reputation as one of the dominant teams in the county. Blake has made three state semifinal appearances and 2 state final appearances in 2007, 2008, and 2009. Congratulations to Patti!

Pat Flanagan continues with her domination of the Montgomery County

Coach Pat Flanagan

Softball 4A East Division with her Girls Softball Team off to a quick start this season. At this writing, they had already clinched the division title for the 6^th time in the last seven seasons. After falling in the state finals last season, they are currently 9-0 and looking forward to another deep run. Her team features only one senior so the future looks very good. She has led them to the finals in both 2008 and they were state semi finalists in both 2007 and 2009. Pat and her Lady Warriors were profiled in the April 4th edition of the Washington Post and the HOF wishes her luck in her pursuit of the State Championship!  

Coach Pat Berbakos

Pat Berbakos is in his fourth season as an assistant coach for the varsity Baseball team at Einstein. In addition to his duties as assistant coach, Pat has been spending his retirement conducting off season workouts for the players and working with the school administration at both Newport and Einstein to increase participation. He has also initiated a few needed field improvement and equipment upgrades.

Larry Sheridan has taken over at Einstein as the new

Coach Larry Scheridan

Varsity Baseball coach. He came back to Einstein as an assistant with the JV in 2008 and then took the reins as JV Head Coach last year before his promotion to Varsity this season. Both Larry and Pat believe that given time, they can improve the Titans fortunes on the diamond. The HOF wishes both Larry and Pat the best in their rebuilding program.

Malcolm Wilson

Founders member Malcolm Wilson is still active with the Einstein wrestling program and is currently running an off season training program once a week for both prospective and current wrestlers. He, too, is working with both the Newport and Einstein administration as well as aiding Coaches Hill and Baez in increasing both visibility and participation.

Bill was very aprecative of his being inducted into the first AEHS Hall of Fame class and showed it by his financial contributions as well as attending all functions of the Hall.  Bill exhibited an example we can all try to live up to, he was dedicated to the mission of the Hall of Fame and was always willing to serve and offer his support when time permitted.
