The JCC MetroWest Jewish Sports Hall of Fame will induct six new members in recognition of their accomplishments in athletics and related fields.

Marjorie Gantman, Bucky Harris, Dr. Max Novich, Marc Roberts, Sandy Salz, and Stephen Sobel will be formally installed at a dinner on Wednesday, May 30, at the Crystal Plaza in Livingston.

The committee also named Evan Kleinberg, a senior at Columbia High School and an All-Essex County soccer player, and Alisha Prystowsky, a senior at Montclair Kimberly Academy and an All-Essex County and All-State softball player, as male and female High School Student Athletes of the Year.

• Marjorie Gantman, a 1993 graduate of Columbia High School in Maplewood, was voted one of the top 10 area high school tennis players of the 1990s by The Star-Ledger. Gantman attended Northwestern University, where she still holds the all-time record for fewest sets lost in a season. After a career in the professional tennis satellite tour following graduation, Gantman worked for Billie Jean King at World Team Tennis. She is currently director of marketing at SportsNet New York.

• Bucky Harris played football and baseball for Newark Central High School, winning All-City and All-Essex County honors as a guard in his senior year. He received a football scholarship to Seton Hall University and also played at Upsala College. After his graduation in 1935, Harris became the football coach at West Side High School, leading his team to a Newark City League Championship in 1943; he also served as the head coach at Weequahic High. Harris later became the recreation director at Chancellor Playground in Newark, supervising and organizing leagues in all sports that included many of that city's greatest athletes.

• Dr. Max Novich, also a graduate of Central High, was the physician for two New Jersey high school football teams for more than 40 years. An orthopedic surgeon, he was a founder of the sports medicine program at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. He was also a major influence on safety in professional boxing and in 1988 helped establish the American Board of Ringside Medicine and Surgery, which developed criteria to certify doctors as ringside physicians. Novich was instrumental in establishing the National Boxing Safety Center at the United Hospitals Medical Center in Newark.

• Marc Roberts, a Division I basketball player at American University in Washington, DC, became the youngest and first person ever to take a sports management company public, including Triple Threat Enterprises and World Wide Entertainment and Sports Corp. Roberts sponsored the JCC MetroWest team for the 2006 Maccabi Youth Games held in Vancouver and Houston, and in 1997 sponsored the entire swimming competition for the National Maccabi youth games in New Jersey through his affiliation with JCC MetroWest.

• Sandy Salz, chair and co-owner of Linden Bulk Transportation Co. Inc., played varsity basketball at Weequahic High School in Newark for three years and was elected All-City in his junior and senior years. He became the first player to receive a full scholarship to a Division I school (Syracuse University) under coach Les Fein, a MetroWest Hall of Fame inductee in 2004. He also lettered in track and soccer, receiving Weequahic's Outstanding Athlete Award for all sports and was inducted into the Newark Sports Hall of Fame in 1995.

• Stephen Sobel has a long record of accomplishments in the fencing world, both as an athlete and as an officer of the United States Olympic Committee and the U.S. Fencing Association. A graduate of Columbia College and Columbia Law School, he is a member of the Columbia Fencing Advisory Committee and is on the school's Fencing Wall of Fame. Sobel, a law professor at Long Island University, Montclair State University, and Berkeley College, is president of the Garden State Games and associate counsel of the U.S. Fencing Association.
