It’s signing day for H.S. football players
GWOC CELEBRATES
‘BAKER’S DOZEN’
HEADED TO COLLEGE
FOOTBALL BIG TIME
Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2009, is a day every kid dreams about.
It’s national signing day, when high school athletes sign national letters of intent with colleges.
Thirteen football players from the Greater Western Ohio Conference in suburban Dayton, Ohio, signed their national letters at a 1 p.m. news conference at the Huber Heights Athletic Foundation Center.
“The great, positive experiences they’re having today just puts an exclamation point on our league and what our league’s all about — when you have this many guys going Division I,” Wayne head football coach and athletic director Jay Minton said.
“It’s neat to see these guys come together,” Minton added. “They compete so hard throughout their careers for their own schools. And then to come together and now represent our league and each other. When they go off to college, now they’re taking not only their own schools and their own reputations with them, but the reputation of this league.
“This is a great way to meet a lot of great players. Everything is positive about this. There’s not one thing negative.”
Here’s “The List”
