The City of Milton recently held an outdoor ceremony to formally unveil the seven new members of Milton’s Wall of Fame — a place to honor standout athletes, coaches, and parks and recreation contributors.

The New 2020 Honorees

• Ron Hill — A beloved coach and teacher, Hill spent the last part of his career at the Mount Vernon School as well as eight years as an instrumental member of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) in Milton.
• Van Kottis — A longtime PRAB member, Kottis helped guide the transformation of Bell Memorial Park and was key in making the Milton Steelers football program free to residents.
• Amanda Marshall — A four-year softball starter at Milton High School, Marshall went on to play for Division I Nicholls State University and travelled the world as a member of Great Britain’s national softball team.
• Ryan Stachler — Stachler not only played golf in the 2016 U.S. Open and 2018 U.S. Amateur, he also holds the distinction of winning state titles for Milton HS (2012) and Cambridge HS (2015). Stachler played college golf for the University of South Carolina.
• Todd Michael Strada — A four-time Georgia State Boy’s Gymnastics Champ while in high school, Strada moved onto what was, at the time, one of the NCAA’s top programs at the University of Iowa. At one point, he ranked #2 among all male NCAA gymnasts.
