Richard “Rick” Schultz
Schultz was a longtime coach in the Washington County Junior Football League, with his teams going undefeated and unscored upon in several years. But his real talent is in revitalizing the Washington County Sports Hall of Fame.
Schultz made the Hall of Fame his passion and was responsible for hundreds of phone calls, letters and gathering of news clippings for people who deserved recognition in the Hall of Fame. He has a vast knowledge of sports and a collection of stories on individuals who played before, during and after his time as an athlete or coach.
His tutoring of many young players and contact with those he met keeps the memories of Washington County sports alive and remembered for years to come and helped keep the Hall of Fame current and constant.
