Dixon, Seiler selected to Section IV Hall of Fame
BINGHAMTON – Tom Dixon and George Seiler worked together for a lot of years. Dixon won more basketball games at New Berlin High School than any other coach in school history, and the same can be said of Seiler, who won more football games as varsity head coach of New Berlin than any previous Hawks coach.
Dixon and Seiler, two men who were the faces of New Berlin sports for three decades, were named to the Section IV Athletic Council Hall of Fame earlier this. The duo will formally receive their induction Saturday, March 7 at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena.
Seiler went 152-44-6 over a football coaching career that spanned parts of five decades. Seiler, an Oxford native, began at South New Berlin as a fresh-faced rookie coach in 1959 after graduation from Cortland State, and in his second year, coached the first of his many Tri-Valley League unbeaten seasons.
Seiler transferred to New Berlin High School in 1968, where he served as director of athletics and varsity football coach until his 1992 retirement from teaching. He continued to coach varsity girls’ basketball until the early part of this decade.
Over his long football coaching career, he guided New Berlin to 12 T-V league titles, and had nine unbeaten seasons. In one stretch, he lost just two games over a seven-year period.
Dixon, a Norwich High School graduate, piloted the New Berlin basketball team for 31 years, and has continued as a volunteer coach the past 10 seasons. Over his career as coach of the Hawks – and later its merged successor Unadilla Valley – Dixon amassed a 436-185 career record. Dixon won 15 Tri-Valley League division titles, 10 league championships, and two Section IV championships.
In the mid-’80s, the Dixon-led Hawks went five seasons without losing a home game, and Dixon was named the Oneonta Daily Star Coach of the Year in 1988. Dixon was voted into the Tri-Valley Hall of Fame in 2003, the same year Seiler was inducted.
Dixon’s first coaching appointment came at Beacon, a Class B school in Dutchess County. Among his six-year coaching highlights there was snapping “neighborhood bully” Poughkeepsie’s 49-game winning streak.
