Barnes, Bergeron, Ditote, Harnish and Steele join Indiana Football Hall of Fame
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) – Five more football stars from Northeast Indiana joined the Indiana Football Hall of Fame on Monday evening.
The Indiana Football Coaches Association hosted another induction dinner at the Goeglein’s Banquet Hall in Fort Wayne, celebrating the class of 2024.
That group included Roosevelt Barnes, Bob Bergeron, Chris Dittoe, Chandler Harnish, and Glen Steele.
Barnes (who was unable to attend) was a multi-sport star at Wayne and Purdue, before getting picked by the Lions in the 10th round of the 1982 NFL Draft. He played several years in the NFL before becoming a pro agent.
Bergeron played as a kicker at Bishop Luers and Michigan. He would spend most of his football career as a coach, serving as a longtime assistant at Snider.
Dittoe suited up at quarterback for Bishop Dwenger and Indiana. He played for the Detroit Lions, and in NFL Europe.
Harnish also played quarterback, becoming one of the best players in Norwell and Northern Illinois history. He joined the Colts as “Mr. Irrelevant,” the final player selected in the 2012 NFL Draft (round seven, pick 253). He spent time on the Colts and Vikings rosters.
Steele was a defensive standout at West Noble and Michigan. He joined the Cincinnati Bengals as a fourth round pick in 1998. Steele played in Cincinnati from 1998-2003.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A firefighter for the Indianapolis Fire Department was sent to the hospital Wednesday after battling a fire at a vacant house.
According to a Facebook post made by IFD, the fire happened around 10:15 a.m. at a house on Bluff Rd. IFD says that there were several complications, including limited access to fire hydrants and “interior hoarder conditions” that IFD says was due to squatters.
The injured firefighter received “slight injury,” the Facebook post said.
It took over an hour and a half to get the fire under control, according to IFD, and another hour to put out all the remaining hot spots in the building.
According to IFD, the cause of the fire is currently unknown. Their Fire Investigations Unit is working on figuring out what caused the fire.
