  I wanted to say thank you to Head Coach Jeff Essig for suggesting another one of his players for the interview. Name: Michael Giwer School/town: Bethel Tate High school Positions played: C, OT, DT Class: 2027 Height and Weight:6’ 270 Jersey Number:57 Awards won or earned:2nd team all league HUDL LINK: http://www.hudl.com/profile/19579827 Other sports played: track and field Please post a small recap of last season with something like a big game you had, something about a certain game, something from a bus ride to or from the game, or something that sticks out from a practice. Last season was very different, it was the first season I felt like a leader on the team and also the first time I was close with almost all of the graduating class. One of my best memories is our win over Blanchester last year, ending with a blocked field goal attempt by us to hold onto our lead after a competitive game the whole night. Celebrating in the away locker room may not be as good as...

Explain   Tiger Stadium, big crowd first game of the season. Overall great place. OLB/ WR: which one do you feel you are best at?   Definitely outside backer, I’ve played it since 7th grade and have really learned to be apart of a position where you don’t just play the run but also defend the pass a lot. Can you explain to the readers your biggest responsibility as an outside linebacke...

N/A With this coming season your final high school football once you are done with travel baseball, will you prepare for the season any differently than you have in the past? I wouldn’t say I’m going to attack this year any differently, but I know a lot of our 2027s including myself feel we have something to prove following our upset loss last year against Groveport Madison and falling short once again, so there are a lot of chips on shoulders for this upcoming season so it should be pretty entertaining to watch this season  What are you looking forward to the most...

  Name: Trey Remy School/town:    Positions played: QB/DE Class: 2028 Height and Weight:  6'5 1/2 230lbs Jersey Number: #9 Awards won or earned: Prep Redzone #23 Overall Class of 2028 HUDL LINK: http://www.hudl.com/v/2T7aub Other sports played: Basketball and Baseball Please post a small recap of last season with something like a big game you had, something about a certain game, something from a bus ride to or from the game, or something that sticks out from a practice. Last year didn't go how we wanted too. We did have a big win at home vs Madison that was probably the best we played all year on offense. We ended up going 6-4 though and then lost in Rd1 of the playoffs, but there were a lot of things from last year that have motivated me to work harder this year than I ever have. What is the best part of being a student-athlete at Ontario High School? I actually take online classes at home, but the best thing is definitely my friends and teamm...

It can be from a game, practice, or something funny on the bus ride to or from the game—any moment that sticks out to you. Just when I finally got put in during the Logan game, I was super nervous yet super excited at the same time. Just wanted to do my best. What are your personal goals for the season? No sacks allowed all season. And pave the way, so Jahmeir Gordon can rush for over 1500 yards. What team goals are you setting? Play as a team, make each other better. And we will make the playoffs.

  In a few short days the grass fields will be cut and painted. The turf fields will be manicured. All lights will be checked. Bleachers will be cleaned and ready for the fans to set Concessions stands will be stocked And Parking lots will be filled. 1,000 of players and coaches will slowly head to their locker rooms, While millions of fans will be standing in ticket lines all waiting for the game we all love and long to see played. Before all of this gets started I want to take the time to say thanks to all of those players, coaches, cheer leaders, refs, concession stand workers and those working the gates to say thank you for all that you do and to all of those websites that allow all of us to get lighting fast updates. To the coaches, what you do takes more time than we all understand and on top of that many of you go the extra mile to mold these young men into not only better players but better young men and even more you go another mile to help them get into college. I also kn...

  I got up Saturday morning and made the drive from Groveport, Ohio to South Charleston High School to cover the West Virginia North vs South game. I believe they do the all-star game the best by having it on a Saturday and in the afternoon. Fans, parents especially do not for the most part have to worry about getting off of work and rushing to the game. The crowd, again right near where I was setting showed their passion that many of the players did. They got loud and let the coaches know they were not happy about this or that. I did find it head scratching when one group of fans were begging their coach to throw the ball. Those fans had zero clue that their team ended 7-24 passing with a pick and a touchdown. Dawson Tenney (Buckannon-Upshur) connected with Jack Byrer (University) for 22 yards, with 9:29 left on the opening quarter clock. On the drives tenth play Byrer plowed in from a yard out, after Levi Price nailed the P.A.T. we had a 7-0 North lead with 5:09 lef...
