Every local sports fan has grown familiar with the running dynasty Bill Aris has helped to build at Fayetteville-Manlius, but few of them might remember Marty Headd’s basketball contributions at Christian Brothers Academy and Syracuse University. But Aris and Headd are together as part of the six-person Class of 2015 for the Greater Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame, announced on Thursday afternoon at the Hall of Fame inside Driver’s Village in Cicero. The induction dinner takes place Oct. 19 at Drumlins Country Club. They are joined in this year’s induction class by long-time Syracuse University administrator Barbara Adams Henderson, Skaneateles golfing great Tom Scherrer, Parochial League basketball star Ormie Spencer and Dr. Joan Thornton, who starred in basketball at Bishop Ludden and Niagara University. Of course, that Hall of Fame dinner will fall right in the middle of high school cross country season, when Aris will try to lead F-M to more championship glory, building upon a stunning resume. Since 2006, Aris has seen eight of his girls cross country teams bring home national championships from the Nike Cross Nationals in Portland, Oregon. And the boys Hornets, after several near-misses, finally earned its first national title in 2014 to go with seven state championships. Despite having a string of great individual runners, F-M has maintained an unselfish approach throughout this historic stretch, faced on the “Stotan” philosophy Aris has perfected, demanding a wholesale approach to training, eating, sleeping and devotion to teamwork. Named as the National Cross Country Coach of the Year in 2014, Aris said that this honor brought back reflections of 2004, when he saw Kathy Mills Parker honored by the Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame. The F-M girls teams from 2007 to 2010 were already given team recognition by this same body. “To be sitting here now with this honor is humbling and awesome,” he said, adding that there was greater satisfaction that it came after a season where the boys and girls teams from F-M swept the Nike Nationals for the first time. For Marty Headd, this selection was also a great honor, and a chance to recognize a basketball career that flourished both at CBA and at SU during a critical moment in its program’s history. With a sweet shooting touch, Headd helped CBA win three consecutive Section III Class A titles from 1975 to ’77. His career touched those of many other Syracuse Hall of Fame inductees, from coach Robert Felasco to teammate Earl Belcher. As a sophomore, he played alongside the Brothers’ current coach and athletic director, Buddy Wlekinski. Despite scant interest from most colleges, Headd did draw the attention of SU’s young head coach, Jim Boeheim. So he joined Louis Orr, Roosevelt Bouie and Danny Schayes and was a crucial participant in the program’s transition to the Big East Conference and away from the cozy confines of Manley Field House. Headd had the honor of scoring the first official basket in a game at the Carrier Dome in 1980. He scored many other baskets, too, accumulating 1,159 career points and averaging nearly 11 points per game, upping that average to 12.1 points for his senior year, including a game-winning basket to beat archrival Georgetown. Twice, Headd was an All-Big East selection, on the third team as a junior and the second team as a senior, where he converted on 53.8 percent of his field-goal attempts. Who knows how much higher his point totals may have climbed had he benefited from the 3-point line, which came later. Only a fractured wrist kept Headd from finding more success in the professional ranks, though he was drafted by the New York Knicks in 1981 and would play in England. Back home, Headd coached junior varsity at CBA, where in 2006 he was named to that school’s LaSallian Hall of Fame. He has worked at SU for more than three decades.
