Ron Weekley, '55. The second member of Coach Bill Whetsell's 'Firehouse Five" (Mark "Buzzy" Davis was the first in 1984) to be inducted into the Marietta College Athletic Hall of Fame, Ron is generally regarded as one of the school's all-time great basketball players. He played four seasons, lettering each year. He is twelfth on the college's all time scoring list with 1,156 career points. He is on Don Drumm's list as one of the college's athletic greats.
