Frank Antico - Football (posthumously)

Hear from both David Giordano Class of 1991 and Ron Duska Class of 1989 as they induct Frank Antico Class of 1989 into the Dickinson Athletics Hall of Fame.

Antico was the best four-year starter for the Red and White at cornerback during the Ed Sweeney era. He was responsible for shutting down two-thirds of the field providing the defensive line, linebackers and other defensive backs with the capability to play with the confidence to take some chances and risks knowing that there was an eraser back there to support them at all times. Antico held the respect and admiration of all his teammates. He was the strong and silent type who approached the game with a ferocious intensity that set the tone for the team. He was the team leader that all his teammates tried to live up to and was a key reason that the Red and White became a football power. His final game with the Red Devils was a history maker for Dickinson as he helped the team to defeat Fordham University in the ECAC South Bowl Championship Game. His commitment and pursuit of excellence remained with the program after his graduation as the Red Devils went on to win seven consecutive Centennial Conference crowns.

After his unfortunate death in 2010 at the age of just 52, his friends joined forces to establish the Pugs Foundation in his honor. The cornerstone of the foundation is the Gary Knechtel '80 Memorial Scholarship, which places a Dickinson education within reach of worthy students in need of financial support.
