The Tioga County Sports Hall of Fame was founded in 1986 by Lou Youdas on an idea organized by Francis J. Kelly. The Organization is intended to recognize Tioga County individuals who have demonstrated great ability in the field of sports as a participant, coach, or contributor and is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of members from the areas of Tioga County.

The board members are Dave Kemp and Paul Zelinka from Cowanesque Valley; Joe Cevette, Andy Orchowski, and Tim Whitney from Elkland; Ron Mace and Lianne Kriner from Liberty; Wes Detar and Jason Dominick from Mansfield; Kenneth Johnson and Thomas McNamara from North Penn; Tim Frazier, Janelle Tombs, and Keith Tombs from Wellsboro; and Cheryl and Matt Sottolano from Williamson.

The Tioga County Sports Hall of Fame also maintains a Museum and Hall of Fame in the Coates Heritage House Museum at 111 E. Main Street in Elkland, PA. Anyone with items that may be of interest to the museum are encouraged to contact any of the directors.
