EASTON, Pa. -- A new museum honoring excellence in scholastic sports is going up in eastern Pennsylvania.

The High School Sports Hall of Fame Museum will be built in Easton, a sporting hotbed known nationally for its wrestling programs and for its century-old football rivalry with neighboring Phillipsburg, N.J.

Easton's mayor and museum officials made the announcement on Monday.

The $20 million museum will highlight inductees who, as girls and boys, excelled in 20 high school sports. Past inductees have included NBA stars LeBron James and Dwight Howard, American League batting champ Joe Mauer, and Olympic gold medal swimmer Allyson Felix.

The museum is to open in the summer of 2011 and will be run by the National High School Coaches Association.
