ERIE, Pa.—Former Oakland Raiders receiver and Hall of Famer Fred Biletnikoff has been honored by the high school he attended in northwestern Pennsylvania.

The Erie Times-News ( http://bit.ly/PFB5MN) reports Wednesday that Biletnikoff was honored by Central Tech High School in Erie. The 69-year-old Biletnikoff graduated from the school in 1961 when it was known as Tech Memorial High School.

Biletnikoff, who now lives in Roseville, Calif., was in Erie as part of the Hometown Hall of Famers, a program through the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Allstate Insurance Co. that seeks to reunite Hall members with their home towns.

Biletnikoff was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1988 after a 14-year career with the Raiders from 1965 to 1978.

Central Tech's football field is named for Biletnikoff
