Highlight of 51 yarder. Plenty of room to spare….cleared the track. What a leg!

I’ve heard he’s a good pitcher too. Reportedly has an 89 mph fastball.

He’s a nice pitcher. I’d have to see that gun though before I agree with that. Had some injury issues last year and didn’t pitch as much. Good young man.

Just going by what was shown on Prep Baseball Ohio. Have no idea if they overstate things or not although it would seem to be in their best interests, for their credibility, not to do so.

Well, I will not dispute their numbers then. I am sure they have some factual basis behind it. He was hurt most of last season and limited his throwing greatly. Best athlete on the baseball team which is very solid team.

Kicked 3 field goals (21, 36, and 47) among his 11 points as Wheelersburg beats Cardinal Mooney 24-10 to advance to state championship game. Also threw a 20-yard pass on a fake punt.

Heimbach is 17 for 20 on the year for FGs with one game left.

Bobcat alum Kevin Kerr is one of three kickers to share the state record of 20 FGs in a season.

I have been wondering given his abilities if such fakes might make their way into Coach Smith’s bag of tricks next year. :)

Yes he signed.

The icing on a decent class.

Somebody mentioned this on FB but to us old farts Davis and Hackelman look like Cleve Bryant and Todd Snyder circa 1969ish.

The portal DT from Wisky at 6’3”-300 like is a monster.

Now let’s get this Smith thing worked out one way or another.

I don’t see him listed so maybe he signed later.

So he's in the paragraph listing but not the individual listing.

Guess he's a ? then.

The press release says 20 signed, but when you count the paragraph list it's 21. But then individually lists 20. Hmmm. Hopefully it's corrected one way or another.

You've got this old fart feeling very delightfully giddy over that comment! Nice to have some good news, with all the doom and gloom of the situation surrounding the head coach, and very real possibility of a sick dog in Athens, for the second year in a row.

The press release discrepancy has been fixed. Still awaiting word on Heimbach.

Its worth noting that Coop tweeted last night for the first time since before signing day about gearing up for the State Championship game and tagged Ohio Football's account. Still looks to be committed with his focus on the State Championship Saturday

I hope we get an update about Heimbach soon.

I don't want another year of Dellenbach/Peacock...

Doesn’t look good.

His last post a few hours ago mentioned an offer from Akron.

At this point, I get this feeling that Heimbach is destined to become an Akron Zip. Even if we choose the right HC, I think Heimbach has been turned away for whatever reason.

He liked my tweet about hiring Hauser so I think it depends on who is HC in about 24 hrs
