This scholarship fund was established in memory of longtime football coach, Harold “Doc” Castor, for a graduating senior from Arlington High School.
Doc, whose name has become synonymous with Arlington football, was the head coach at Arlington from 1933-1962. In the 26 seasons he coached (he was in the service for three years), Doc never had a losing season, compiling an amazing record of 175-32-12. From 1945-1951, his teams went 45 games without a defeat. In 1985, Doc was inducted into the Hancock Sports Hall of Fame as part of the inaugural class. Castor received his AB degree from Findlay College, his BS from Kent State, and also did graduate work at the University of Michigan. He was a history and social studies teacher at Arlington until 1966.
