Livingston (John A. Pavoncello)

The York Area Sports Hall of Fame will soon have two new members.

Brad Livingston, a longtime football and boys' volleyball coach at Central York High School, and Keith Wentz, a standout Central Baseball League player, are the newest additions to the elite group.

Livingston and Wentz will be inducted at the Hall of Fame Center (224 N. George St, York) and at Sovereign Bank Stadium on May 6 before the York Revolution game against Bridgeport.

Livingston has been the head football coach at Central for the last 30 seasons, compiling a 187-134-4 record, including eight York-Adams League Division I titles. His teams also earned District 3 second-place finishes in 1984 (Class AA) and 1990 (Class AAA).

In 2002, Livingston

Wentz
also become the head coach of the Central boys' volleyball program. Since that time, he's won four York-Adams crowns, two District 3 titles and the PIAA Class AAA state championship in 2011. The Panthers also finished second in the state in Class AAA in 2008.

Livingston also graduated from Central in 1966 and was a York County Interscholastic Athletic Association All-Star football selection.

Wentz, meanwhile, was a standout baseball player at Northeastern High School and York College before joining the Oakland Athletics minor-league organization.

After leaving the A's, Wentz returned to York County to play third base for the Mount Wolf Wolves of the Central League. Wentz became a perennial Central League all-star and helped the Wolves become a sandlot power.

Wentz was inducted into the York College Athletic Hall of Fame in 1998 and the Central Baseball League Hall of Fame in 2010.

He finished his Central League career with 225 homers, 893 RBIs and a .428 batting average over 23 seasons. He is also one of only four Central League players with at least 1,000 hits. He is the Central League's all-time leader in homers, RBIs and average.

Wentz finished his York College career with a .408 average, a .479 on-base percentage and a .710 slugging percentage. He ranks in the top three in York College history in all of those categories, and his slugging percentage is a school record.
