Eight people representing six sports, plus the media, comprise the Suffolk County Hall of Fame's Class of 2012, which was announced Thursday.
Chris and Peter Ferraro of Sound Beach, identical twins who played in a total of 166 NHL games and who both played briefly for the Rangers, headline this year's inductees, who will be honored at a gala on May 3 at the West Lake Inn in Patchogue.
The others, listed alphabetically, and their qualifications are:
Dick Berg, former men's basketball coach at Dowling and Hofstra. His Dowling teams won nine conference and four NAIA district titles and made four NAIA Tournament appearances.
Mike Canobbio, current varsity baseball coach at Lindenhurst, who earned his 500th win last May and won the school's first state championship in 2010.
Matt Farrago of Greenlawn, a former professional boxer who went 25-2-1 in his pro career. He is a past president of Veterans Boxers Association Ring 8, an organization that helps former fighters improve their lives after their careers in the ring.
Gregg Sarra of Ronkonkoma, current executive producer for Long Island sports at MSG Varsity and Newsday high school sports editor/columnist.
"I am extremely honored that the Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame is recognizing my life's work," Sarra said. "I look around 26 years from the start of my Newsday career and see how successful so many student-athletes have become and it's incredible. It's been a rewarding career path."
