COVE R S T ORY T2
By SCOTT COTTOS
SPORTS EDITOR
Micah Hyde was sitting and watching
NFL preseason action on the evening of
Aug. 8 when a thought popped into his
head: In about 24 hours, he would be one
of those guys on the TV screen.
It was a weird feeling, he said in a
telephone interview. You play all your life
toward this.
Indeed, Hyde
the skinny youngster
who set 17 Fostoria
High School records
and went on to become
sinewy strong and the
Big Ten defensive back
of the year as a senior
at Iowa was close to
playing his first game
as a cornerback for the
Green Bay Packers.
Yes, those Packers.
The Packers of Bart
Starr, Ray Nitschke,
Paul Hornung, Jim
Taylor, Brett Favre, et
al. The Packers who
so frequently chilled their opponents on
what became widely known as the Frozen
Tundra of Lambeau Field. The Packers for
whom the word dynasty first crept its way
into sports vernacular in reference to the
1960s teams coached by Vince Lombardi.
Other than in the quality of his own play,
there is no next level for Hyde. He made it
to footballs version of The Show.
Its just so unreal to me right now, he
said in an interview in Fostoria prior to
heading to training camp in July. Ive been
there, working with the vets and this and
that, and practicing. But I still wake up and
Im like, Wow, Im truly blessed just by the
fact that Im a Packer. I go back to draft
day and it was a great feeling and I still
have that every day when I wake up and
just think about it.
Draft day was April 27, and the Pack-
ers selected Hyde in the fifth round, 159th
overall. It wasnt long
before he was involved
in a rookie mini-camp
and organized team
activities.
A couple of the
games most notable
stars, quarterback
Aaron Rodgers and
linebacker Clay Mat-
thews III, pl ay in
Green Bay. Hyde said
he had his moment of
being star-struck, but
he knew that had to be
put away quickly.
Ive been around
some pretty good ath-
letes in my life and
gotten to see them play and even talked
to them and stuff like that, so I was kind
of used to it, he said. I definitely wasnt
standing there saying, Oh, my God, thats
Aaron Rodgers. At the same time, to this
day, Im still, Oh, my God, Im a Packer.
Youre kind of like, Wow, Im actually in
the same locker room as these guys Ive
Micah Hyde has come a long way
since his beginnings in Fostoria
... I still wake up and
Im like, Wow, Im truly
blessed just by the fact
that Im a Packer. I go
back to draft day and it
was a great feeling and I
still have that every day
when I wake up and just
think about it.

watched on TV. Its a great feeling.
But after five minutes of being in the
locker room, it was like, Im used to
it.
Its strictly business. And the
thing is, in practice ... it didnt matter
who you were, you were going in
with the ones (first-stringers) ... you
were going against the No. 1 receiver,
against Aaron Rodgers. (Defensive
backs coach Joe Whitt) threw every-
body in there (in OTAs); it was a
mish-mash. I think that helped me out,
too, in just getting used to it just
practicing with them.
Tom Grine, who coached Hyde at
FHS and is now the schools principal,
said he likes the mental approach the
22-year-old has taken into his NFL
opportunity.
I think hes aware of the fact that
there are no guarantees, and thats
a good thing for him, Grine, who
played at Iowa in the 1970s, said. The
thing about him is hes grounded and
focused Hey, Ive got a chance
here. I think I can make it.
Hes always had that tremendous
self-confidence, which I dont think
you can understate. When you get to
that level, or even the Division I (col-
lege) level, if you dont believe in your-
self, if you start doubting yourself, its
going to be a long trip home. Youve
got to believe in yourself. You cant
depend on the coaches to give you that
confidence, or your teammates. Its
got to be from within. You know: Hey,
I belong here. Im not going anywhere.
Im going to make this team. I think
thats a huge advantage for Micah.
Hes so even-keeled. He doesnt get
too high; he doesnt get too low.
Indeed, Hyde, whose friendly
demeanor does not allow him to come
off as cocky, carries the attitude that
at the end of the day, its just football
and Ive been doing it my whole life,
he said.
I know Im a young guy and I have
a lot to learn, but at the end of the day,
(other players) are really good, but
theyre not gods out there or anything,
so I definitely feel I can compete with
them.
Hyde is the third FHS graduate to
reach the NFL in the last 14 years.
Safety Damon Moore, a fourth-round
selection of Philadelphia out of Ohio
State in the 1999 draft, played three
years with the Eagles and one with the
Chicago Bears. Another safety, Rich-
ard Newsome, who played collegiately
at Michigan State, was a member of
the New Orleans Saints in 2001 after
making the team as an undrafted free
agent.
Hydes mother, Pam Moore, who
is married to Damon Moores older
brother Clayton, is happy that her
child has a chance to do something
to which hes long aspired.
Of course its exciting, but I know
that ultimately hes got to make the
team, she said.
The first NFL cutdown date was
Tuesday. The final one will be Sat-
urday. The Packers will open their
season Sept. 8 on the road against the
NFC champion San Francisco 49ers,
to whom Green Bay lost in the playoffs
last season.
I guess I just take it day by day,
Pam Moore said. People ask me the
same question all the time, but I feel
like he is so fortunate to have this
happening in his life. Of course, hes
living his dream right now. But even
if he didnt make the team or what-
ever, what a great start in life. I look
at that. Hes doing something that so
many young boys dream of doing and
getting a good start. I guess the main
focus for me is I want my child to be
happy and healthy. I just want him to
have a successful life, regardless of
whether its this or that or whatever
it is. Its exciting, but at the same time
I think Im pretty clearheaded about it,
and if the time comes that he makes
the team and hes able to play, Ill be
thrilled for him.
While Hyde was a standout high
school performer in football, base-
ball and basketball, his first love was
soccer. His travel-team sidekick in
that sport at a young age was Aaron
Craft, who moved from Fostoria to
Findlay as a sixth-grader and has
since become a standout point guard
for Ohio States basketball team. Hyde
first latched onto football as a seventh-
grader.
We always had these real good
travel teams, Hyde said. It wasnt
like going into seventh-grade football
I didnt know anything about football.
But I always enjoyed soccer. I loved
it, but they didnt have a school team
and obviously footballs a big sport
here and I definitely wanted to play
football, too.
I grew up here and knew about
the state championship teams and I
grew up with Theo (Grine), so coach
Grine (Theos uncle) was always
around. I knew I wanted to play for
him. I think Id have definitely played
football, but if soccer was in the spring
maybe I wouldnt have played baseball
or something like that.
Organized sports werent all that
Hyde played as a youngster. As Grine
has often lamented, children of recent
times seem less likely to play infor-
mal sports outside in their free time
thereby developing physical skills
as they are to sit down with video
games.
That wasnt Hydes way, though.
He was more old school.
I cant tell you how crazy it was,
the stuff we used to do, he said. We
used to just go find a field and put
shoes out as end zones. It was Hydes,
Munozes, Crafts, Dieblers, Cousins,
Grines. ... It literally had to be dark,
for us not to see the football, to stop

Though the roster size remains
modest, it may be something to build
on for St. Wendelin.
After a few years of their players
numbering in the low teens and inju-
ries prompting the cancellations of a
few games, the Mohawks enter the
2013 season the schools 90th
with a roster of 21.
The key to the influx is a freshman
class of 12 that will blend in with six
seniors, two juniors and a sophomore.
Certainly, it will be a baptism of fire
for the youngsters, but second-year
coach Jim Bodart likes the guidance
theyre getting from the experienced
upperclassmen, along with the pros-
pects for this season and the direction
the program may be taking.
Hopefully, were in a turnaround,
Bodart said. Thats what were trying
to pursue. Weve got a lot of learning
to do, but I think well have the oppor-
tunity to put some Ws after the names
on the schedule.
St. Wendelin is entering its second
full season as a member of the Michi-
gan-based Christian Athletic League
of America, which mainly includes
teams composed of youngsters who
are homeschooled or who attend
schools that do not offer football.
Their rosters sizes are comparable to
that of the Mohawks.
They are very well-disciplined
teams, Bodart said. You can tell that
the coaching staffs take the time to
teach them fundamentals. You dont
see a lot of fancy offense from them,
and I dont mean that in a derogatory
manner. Thats actually complimen-
tary in my eyes because I think some-
times as coaches we get too caught up
in the Xs and Os and not as much in
the lets go play a game.
The Mohawks posted a 2-5 record
last season, with their wins coming
in the last two games of the season.
Those two contests saw St. Wende-
lin, which had seen its 14-man roster
whittled by injuries, claim victories
in eight-player games permitted by
the CALA.
This years numbers wouldnt
appear to put eight-man games in
the outlook, and Bodart looks for his
club to be competitive in conventional

COACH: Jim Bodart, 2nd year
(2-5)
LAST YEAR: 2-5
LAST LEAGUE TITLE: 1991
OFFENSIVE SCHEME: Pistol
wing
DEFENSIVE SCHEME: 4-4
STRENGTHS: Bodart speaks
quite highly of a six-man senior
class that has
persevered
through tough
times and is
proving helpful
to a 12-player
group of fresh-
man that will
provide depth
that hasnt been
present in recent
years. Experi-
ence should help
in the transi-
tion from a big-play offense to one
based on ball control.
WEAKNESSES: With fresh-
men composing 57 percent of
the 21-man roster, theyll have
to grow up quickly and learn on
the fly in order to give at least an
occasional rest to upperclassmen
who will be relied upon heavily
in all phases of the game. At least
nine players may rarely come off
the field.

OFFENSE
According to guard Trent
Whetsel: I think well do a little
more running this year and try to
power through and just kind of basi-
cally put the ball down their throats.
We all have heart and were all here
to win and, of course, to win you
have to have touchdowns.
DEFENSE
According to linebacker Cole
Williams: It all depends on the
players intensity and I hope that
each of our players plays with a big
heart. We all want to win, so hope-
fully were all aggressive.
Bodart hopes things are on the
move in terms of numbers with
a freshman class of 12 bolster-
ing this years roster to 21. The
numbers will help St. Wendelin
practice more effectively, which
should translate well in terms of
execution. While Bodart is pleased
with the leadership provided by his
seniors, some will have to step up
in production to compensate for
the graduation losses of skill play-
ers such as Zach Miller and Austin
Reinhart.

contests at the same time that the
younger players gain experience and
all players get a chance to rest.
It does make for good competi-
tion, Bodart said of the CALA. I
think this season, were young but
weve got much better numbers and
I think thats going to give us some
opportunities in games that maybe
we didnt have last year. The kids
were in great shape, but any time you
ask a kid to perform for four quarters
in the games of football, both sides
of the ball, kickoffs, punt returns and
everything, youre asking a lot.
I think in those last few games,
where we had the opportunity to play
8-on-8 with the CALA allowing us to
do that, that gave us equal numbers
where we had a few kids on the side-
lines and we could sub a coach
them up on the sideline and send
them back in kind of thing.
While Bodart expects the entire
roster to be involved on game nights,
certain players will still be counted
on in every regard, injuries remain a
part of the sport and the coach wants
everyone to be ready to do whatever
is necessary.
As we went through camp and
that first week of double-session con-
ditioning, about Thursday everybody
was getting tired of conditioning,
Bodart said. Everybody does get
tired of conditioning. I took a minute
away from our running and condi-
tioning and pulled them into a quick
huddle and I started by asking one by
one, How many plays were you off
the field last year? A lot of times you
will hear kids at other schools talk
about playing all but 10 plays. Thats
a lot of plays for high school kids. You
run through that list of six seniors
and you can probably count on two
hands the number of plays they were
off the field last year.
The big thing for me was to give
these freshmen a wakeup call that we
do all of this because on game night
you may play the whole game. Theres
no two-platoon, theres no offensive
group and defensive group. This year,
it should change a little bit, obviously.
We should get some opportunities to
get some kids off the field. But actu-
ally, nine kids are going to carry the
brunt of this team and were going
to have to mix in some freshmen to
make this whole thing happen.
The improved numbers wil l
helped the Mohawks in practice as
the season goes along. Unlike in
recent years, 11-on-11 sessions essen-
tially are possible.
Thats going to make the prac-
tices much more productive, Bodart
said. Last year with the numbers
we had, we practiced what I call
half-line. Wed go center on over on
one side of the ball then youd flip
and youd do the other half center on
over. Granted, you get a lot of good
reps that way. Its a quicker process.
Youre not dealing with the back
side of the line. But in turn, you lose
that back side of the line, downfield-
blocking practice, things like that. It
becomes a lot more difficult to get
in. This year, were going to be able
to get some nice looks at kids and
what theyre doing on the back side
of the play.
Bodart said he and his staff have
received plenty of help in team man-
agement from the six seniors.
Every single one of them deserves
the title of team captain, he said.
They all lead in their own different
way, but they all take charge.
Bodart wants his f reshman
class, almost all of whom attended
the lower grades at St. Wendelin,
to absorb what they learn from the
upperclassmen and carry it forward
toward building strength for the pro-
gram.
Its a good group of kids, he said
of the freshmen. Theyre very close-
knit. I think you get that here at St.
Wendelin, even more than at most
schools. You get a pretty tight bond
of kids just because the classes are
so small.
Lost to graduation are big-armed
quarterback Zach Miller and speedy
running back Austin Reinhart, who
has gone on to play at John Carroll
University.
Bodart expects this years club to
be steady if unspectacular.
Were a pretty fundamentally
sound group, he said. I dont think
were going to have the passing attack
we had last year, with the ability to
throw the big ball. But I think its
really going to set up to be a sound,
ball-control type of team.
Theyre persistent. Theyre the
type of kids who are going to go to
work very blue collar. Were going
to be pounding the ball at people. I
think we have the ability to be more
physical than we have been in the
past. And with the little bit of depth
were developing here and getting
some rest for some of these kids, I
think its going to give us the oppor-
tunity to really have a ball-control
type of offense. With the type of
kids weve got and the discipline
they demonstrate, well be able to
play sound defense and control the
ball on offense.
Taking over at quarterback will be
senior Brad Buhrow, though fresh-
man Cyle Smith could enter the con-
versation when hes fully recovered
from an injury.
We may make some changes
there as we go forward, but (Buhrow)
is a great athlete and I trust him, and
those are two things you need at
quarterback, in my opinion, Bodart
said.
Senior fullback Brady Rutter will
get a number of carries after impress-
ing Bodart in 2012 in his return to
football after not having played since
his junior-high years. Senior Cole
Williams and freshman Joel Lopez
look to be the wingbacks with junior
Donovan Scudder at tight end and
sophomore Justin Walter at split end.
Junior Rob Park will center an
offensive line that will also include
seniors Caleb Colburn and A. J.
Turner at the tackles and senior
Trent Whetsel and freshman Devin
Frankart, a transfer from New Riegel,
at the guards.
The Mohawks will line up Fran-
kart and Park at the defensive tack-
les and Colburn and Turner at the
defensive guards in their 4-4 align-
ment. Buhrow, Whetsel, Williams
and Scudder will be the linebackers.
Rutter and Lopez will be the corner-
backs and Walter will be the safety.
Bodart said he wont project a
won-lost record against competi-
tion that, in addition to the CALA
schools, will include Arcadia, Cory-
Rawson and Hardin Northern from
the Blanchard Valley Conference. But
he expects the senior class to lead
an effort in which the Mohawks put
their best foot forward.
I talk a lot about the tradition of
St. Wendelin football, Bodart said.
This is the 90th season of St. Wen-
delin football; we say, Continue the
tradition, keep it moving forward.
This is a great program to be a part
of. Those (seniors) are a great exam-
ple of that. There have been some
pretty lean years around here.
I think its great that weve got
this young freshman class for these
seniors. Its a great group of kids for
us to say, All right, Ive got these 12
kids who are going to be here for the
next four years and theyre going
to learn great things from a senior
class who will show them the way
to become a St. Wendelin Mohawk
football player.

COACH: Jim Kelly, 2nd year
(0-10)
LAST YEAR: 0-10 overall, 0-7
Northern Buckeye Conference
LAST TITLE: 2008 in North-

OFFENSIVE SCHEME: I-for-

DEFENSIVE SCHEME: 50
STRENGTHS: Kelly said
the team had a great offseason
with increased
numbers in the
weight room and
players starting
to see the value
of strength when
it comes to the
physical brand
of football he
expects from his

group of fresh-

numbers are improving.
WEAKNESSES: While the
Redmen have made strides since
finishing 0-10 last season, Kelly said
they are still not where they need to
be in terms of physical and mental
toughness. A small senior class will
force unproven players to step into
key positions right away and perform
well if the team hopes to improve on
last years winless campaign.

OFFENSIVE SCHEME: Shot-

STRENGTHS: The Raiders

WEAKNESSES: There is
always a learning curve with a
new offensive scheme and the
Raiders will be experiencing
that to some degree early in the
season. Although numbers are
not devastatingly low, depth is a
cause for concern on both sides
of the ball. An injury or two at
key positions could derail an
otherwise promising step for the

OFFENSE
According to tight end Jack
Raymond: I think passings going
to be a big part. ... The line is open-
ing up holes and protecting really
well up front so weve got every-
thing we need.
DEFENSE
According to defensive
tackle Jordan Smith: Weve got
a big front three. ... Our outside
linebackers, they can really fly. I
think thats really going to help us
contain and keep everything into
our big guys.
The Raiders look to take a
step forward in year two of Vodi-
kas reign. A large contingent of
seniors has brought a change in
attitude and discipline has been
much improved so far this season,
according to several players. A new
offense will aim to showcase play-
ers strengths and several freshmen
will get the opportunity to prove
themselves at the varsity level and
could make key contributions. A
favorable non-conference schedule
could help build confidence early in
the season.

SPORTS WRITER
KANSAS In his second year
at the helm of the Lakota football
program, Dave Vodika has noticed a
major change among his players.
Those returning from last years
squad and the ones joining for the first
time have come equipped with a dif-
ferent mentality this season, or as he
calls it, a different attitude.
After a 2-8 season in 2012, Vodika
is still in the process of changing the
losing culture that had beset Lakota
over the past several seasons. The
Raiders are 3-27 since 2010 and have
lost 23 straight Midland Athletic
League games dating back to 2009.
Despite those numbers being
stacked against him, Vodika said he
has seen a different side of his team
this summer that has not been there
in the past.
Overall, I would say I can take
these guys and push them ten times
harder than before, he said. Every-
bodys willing to say OK, if they say
we can do this we must be able to do
it. Attitude-wise, Im just so very, very
pleased.
It is not just the head coach who
feels that way either. Players are
starting to see the difference in their
teammates and themselves, and its
instilling confidence that things can
change.
Its probably the attitude, senior
Jack Raymond said about the differ-
ence between previous teams and
the 2013 squad. A couple years ago,
we werent able to condition like we
should have. Everybody had a bad
attitude. Now were working hard and
coach is making sure of that. And I
think now were actually ... starting to
enjoy it because we know its going to
help us. Its not just to punish us, its
to make us better.
One thing working in the Raiders
favor is a large senior class. Although
there are just 23 players listed on the
roster, 10 of them will play their final
season this fall.
Lakota will start eight seniors on
offense and six on defense to bolster
units that were some of the worst sta-
tistically in the MAL last season. The
team finished last in total offense and
next-to-last in total defense a year ago.
Colin Timmons returns at quar-
terback after throwing for 234 yards
and three touchdowns with one inter-
ception in limited time under center
in 2012. Kyle Below, Mac Flanagan,
Jordan Smith and Bobby Arriaga
bring experience to the offensive line,
while Raymond will anchor the tight
Raiders players
bring new
attitude to 2013

COACH: Todd Fox, 4th year
(20-14)
LAST YEAR: 7-5 overall, 5-2
Midland Athletic League
LAST TITLE: 2008 (tie)
OFFENSIVE SCHEME: Spread
DEFENSIVE SCHEME: 4-2-5
STRENGTHS: The Senecas are
experienced on both sides of the
ball. The entire
offensive line
returns, as does
quarterback
Tyler Long and
nine starters on
defense, includ-
ing All-Ohio
tackle Marcus
Somers. The
team also
boasts plenty
of depth at all
positions, a
welcome change from last season
when the Senecas began the year
with just one returning starter.
WEAKNESSES: According to
Fox, the teams biggest weakness
is that the players are too critical
of themselves. If they have a bad
practice, Fox says he finds the
coaching staff picking up the
kids spirits rather than yelling,
which is an unusual situation to
say the least.
By SHANNON DOVE
SPORTS WRITER
TIFFIN After this school year,
the Midland Athletic League will
cease to exist. Tiffin Calvert coach
Todd Fox would like to see his Sen-
ecas claim the final league title.
And he just may have the personnel
to do so.
The Senecas return nine starters
on both offense and defense, includ-
ing All-Ohio defensive tackle Marcus
Somers (6-foot-1, 208 pounds), quar-
terback Tyler Long and the entire
offensive line.
Im biased, but we return all
five starting offensive linemen, plus
the main two substitutes, so thats a
strength, Fox said. But again, Tyler
Long at quarterback and our receiving
corps and their ability, we feel pretty
strong on offense, that we can do a lot
of great things. But Id say any time
you can bring (back) a whole offensive
line, youre pretty lucky.
Fox is in his fourth year of coaching
the Senecas, who compiled a 7-5 over-
all record last year with a 5-3 mark to
finish third in the MAL. Calvert has
also made back-to-back playoff appear-
ances after an eight-year absence from
the postseason and Fox said the play-
ers especially the seniors are
ready to make a deep playoff run.
This is the fourth year for this
group, Fox said of his senior class.
We just feel that the systems in, there
are really no excuses. We know what
were doing and we just continue to
get better, keep our goals high, keep
working hard.
This is a special group that we
had a great offseason with and were
excited.
Somers, a four-year starter, is
a guard on the offensive line and a
tackle on defense. Hell be joined
by junior center Matt Iannantuono,
junior guard Cameron Felter, senior
tackles Austin Perry and Aaron Engle-
hart on the offensive line.
Our whole offensive line is return-
ing from last year. We have a year
under our belts and we should be a
lot better, Somers said.
Marcus started as a freshman for
us, so we knew then he was a special
player, Fox said of Somers. Hes that
quiet leader. He doesnt say much, but
everybody knows that what Marcus
says or does goes. Hes kind of that
catalyst, but hes surrounded by a lot
of other great leaders.
That senior class is not large with
six seniors. Its just they know what to
do, they know how to work together
and everybody follows. Its a special

DEFENSE
According to defensive

Everyones fast: D-line, backs, safe-
ties, were all pretty fast.
Calvert has what every coach
wishes he could have each season:
Plenty of experience, depth and
talent at all positions. There wont
be much of a learning curve for the
players and theyll be expected to
open the season strong and carry
that momentum throughout the
year, culminating in what the team
hopes will be a deep playoff run.
As long as they avoid injuries, the
Senecas will be a team to be reck-
oned with.

game. You wont be able to pass

probably our main focus. A lot of
schools dont really pass the ball as

youve got to focus on.
The sting of an early playoff exit
last season is still fresh with this
Tornadoes team and it would love
nothing more than to erase that
memory with a strong playoff run.
That determination, mixed with a
healthy amount of talent, should be
good to make Columbian a force

TIFFIN After running the table
undefeated in the regular season and
capturing the Northern Ohio League
championship last fall, Tiffin Colum-
bian was poised for a deep playoff run.
But the Tornadoes hopes flew
away with the Eagles in a 24-14 loss
to Avon in the second round of the
Division II postseason, a bitter disap-
pointment thats still fresh.
Its one that coach Brian Colatrug-
lio and his players hope to wipe from
their memories with a significant
playoff showing this season and, just
maybe, a state championship.
Its part of being a part of Tiffin
Columbian football, Colatruglio
said. Thats whats expected. Youre
expected to contend for champion-
ships and make the playoffs, and this
year will be no different. Well have
those same expectations.
But its also the beauty of high
school football because every teams
different. Every year is a different
year. You cant think Well, because
we were good last year, were going
to be good this year. Its a completely
different, new group of guys. Your
team takes on the personality of your
seniors.
This years seniors want to win.
Obviously, get past that, senior
running back Ryan Lynch said of last
season. Try and go undefeated in
the whole season, not just the regular
season.
Fifteen and oh, senior offensive
tackle Isiah Moore added.
Thats our goal, Lynch finished.
Lynch and Moore are the anchors
of an experienced Columbian offense
and the Tornadoes would be hard-
pressed to find two better candidates
to lead the team. Lynch is a four-year
starter at running back who earned
All-NOL second team and All-North-
west Ohio District honorable mention
accolades last year as a junior. He was
also a first-team All-NOL defensive
player at linebacker.
Moores credentials are even more
impressive: first team All-Ohio offen-
sive lineman, Northwest Ohio Dis-
trict Offensive Lineman of the Year
and spots on the first team all-district
and All-NOL offenses.
Hes that good because hes a
worker, Colatruglio said of Moore.
He works his technique, hard in
