Briefly describe your best win at Wheelersburg

Tie: Beating Ironton 10-7 in '99. This was my first varsity game, great way to start. The other would be beating Minford 21-7 our senior year. Great revenge for the two losses to them the season before.

 Briefly describe your toughest loss at Wheelersburg

 The last two regular season games of my senior year. We lost at home to West 7-0, and a chance to tie for the SOC. Then we lost at Portsmouth 21-19. We were down 21-7 with about 5 min. to go, then we made a great comeback before a "questionable" call on our 2 pt. conversion ended our comeback.  

 Describe the most memorable event while playing at Wheelersburg

 Senior night against West, the coaching staff named me an honorary captain. I'll never forget Coach Watts coming into the trainer's room and telling me "Tonight's your night, your our captain." As we walked to mid-field, a message from the coaches was told over the PA as we walked across the field. Needless to say, I had a few tears running down my cheek by the time for the coin toss.
