At the boundary, V: the single-sport halls — a volleyball coach, two wrestlers, a bowler

Indiana's single-sport halls — as of November 2026

Steve Anderson, volleyball, 2011: Steve Anderson coached Mishawaka High School volleyball for thirty-four seasons across two stints (1979–2005 and 2016–2023), won 913 matches and three state championships, and made the Cave a place the state feared. The South Bend Tribune's account of December 2025 states his halls in one sentence: inducted into the Mishawaka High School Hall of Fame in 1995 and "the Indiana Hall of Fame" in 2011 — the state's volleyball hall, in the Tribune's short form; the coaches' association's own roster is named in the expand note as the settling pull for the formal entry. The distinction this section keeps: the other Steve in Indiana volleyball's hall is Muncie's Steve Shondell, of the AVCA's hall besides — a different man, and Anderson's name is not Shondell's.

The wrestling hall — two names, and the great coach unconfirmed: The Indiana High School Wrestling Coaches Association's Hall of Fame holds two Mishawaka men on its own published class lists: Michael Faulkner, inducted as a wrestler in the class of 2002–03, and Lance Beehler, inducted as a coach in the class of 2001–02. The third name is the test's honest remainder. Al Smith coached Mishawaka wrestling for thirty years (from the 1964–65 season), won 416 duals and the 1991 state championship, and lends his name to the Al Smith Invitational, among the hardest tournaments in the state; the wrestling press records him sitting on the association hall's own nomination committee — and his induction is not confirmed in any class list reached, while the National Wrestling Hall of Fame's index carries an "Allen Smith," honoured for Lifetime Service in 2023, whose identity with Mishawaka's Al Smith is not established. Both facts print at their size: the settling pulls — the association's complete roster and the national hall's Indiana chapter list — are named in the expand note.

Randy Wanbaugh, bowling, 2005: The Tribune's bowling record of 2005 names three left-handers "tabbed for honors" at the state bowling hall of fame's annual banquet: Frank Bricker of South Bend, Jim Rowe of Warsaw and Randy Wanbaugh of Mishawaka. Wanbaugh's card as the paper gives it: Indiana State Junior all-events champion in 1972; Mishawaka city team champion in 1978, 1982 and 1993; city singles champion three times; city doubles champion in 1979 and 1980 with Tom Termont. Sport bowling is the Sports record's; the state hall's honour, at the Tribune's strength, is this section's.
