Betsy Wilson

One of the greatest advocates for girls sports in Lehigh Valley history. Wilson just completed her 28th season as the District 11 softball chairman.

She has been an instrumental in the promotion and development of the sport throughout the district and state. Under her direction, the District 11 softball tournament has become one of the premier spring events in the Lehigh Valley scholastic sports, drawing hundreds of people each year to Patriots Park.

Wilson played college softball as West Chester State Teachers College and coached at both Emmaus High School and Moravian Academy.

She has served as the Colonial League umpires assignor for many years and has been just as involved in the emergence of both girls field hockey and basketball over the past three decades as an official, assignor, rules interreter and PIAA committee member.

Earlier this year, Wilson was inducted into the Lehigh Valley Basketball Hall of Fame.
