Who is the best player from your school? If you have any facts that back up your choice then that would be tremendous.
Example - I'll take the easiest one
Sandusky
Orlando Pace
7 time Pro Bowler
Super Bowl Champion with the St Louis Rams
1996 Outland Trophy winner at Ohio State
1995 & '96 Lombardi Award winner at Ohio State
Only player to ever win 2 Lombardi Awards
Last offensive player to win the Lombardi (20 straight Defensive players since, only 7 of 47 winners have been Offensive)
1993 USA Today High School All-American
4th in Heisman Voting 1996
#1 pick in 1997 NFL Draft
Elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame
Some of the greats will have dominated at the High School level and not have done much at a higher level. 6'0 QB's can dominate at the HS level, but normally don't have the height to excel at the D-1 college level. (ie Micah Hyde at Fostoria was a great HS QB - He had to get it done as a DB at the next level)

If you consider post high school career Frye(2000) is probably Willards.
If you dig deeper you could make a case for Jim Langhurst(1937) or maybe Sylvester 'Red' Davis(~1925), Joe Whisler(1942)
Maybe Mark Miller(1981?)

Damon Moore Fostoria
All-Ohio QB in high school (safety moved to QB his senior year)
Rated the 9th best DB in Ohio State history
Whether it's run support or playing center-field, Damon Moore was the complete safety from 1995 to 1998.
As a red-shirt freshman, Moore appeared in 12 games, making 30 tackles and intercepting the first two passes of his career.
He moved into the starting line-up in 1996, and on a defense with names like Greg Bellisari, Andy Katzenmoyer, Mike Vrabel and Shawn Springs, it was the Fostoria native who led the team in stops with 89. He was the first non-linebacker to lead OSU in that category in 26 years. Against Wisconsin that year, he set a school record for tackles in a game by a defense back with 19.
In the Iowa game, Moore tied a school mark by intercepting three passes, part of his total of five that season. This one against Indiana was returned for a touchdown, helping OSU clinch its first trip to the Rose Bowl in 12 years. He had two pick sixes in his career, tied for the most in Ohio State history.
In Pasadena against Arizona State, Moore was the top tackler with 12 stops in the Buckeye victory.
As a junior, Moore was in on 67 tackles including five for loss, and picked off three more passes. He was recognized as All-Big Ten.
He added All-American honors as a senior in 1998. His 81 tackles and 62 solos were again tops on the team. He intercepted two more passes in helping the Bucks reach an 11-1 record and finish second in the country for the second time in three years.
Drafted in the 4th round by the Eagles, started 3 seasons at SS and traded to the Bears.
There were many others that could stake their case:
Richard Newsome - All-Ohio QB, State Championship, All Big Ten Michigan State at safety, New Orleans Saints.
Joe Johnson - Parade All-American safety, State Long-jump champion, rated #2 safety in the country, 3 yr. starter Notre Dame
Derek Kidwell - 2 time All-Ohio QB, State Championship, Ohio's Mr. Football, disappointing career at BGSU
Micah Hyde - All-Ohio, 17 school records, first-team All-Big Ten selection and also won the Tatum-Woodson Award, annually given to the best defensive back in the conference. He finished his career at Iowa starting every game for three consecutive seasons. 4 years Green Bay Packers, mostly as starter at safedty, CB, returning punts & kicks.
Brad Fisher - All-Ohio offensive tackle, starting left tackle on National Champion Clemson Tigers

I had the opportunity to meet and converse with young Charles Woodson, when he was a Jr. Besides his athletic exploits, he was a well mannered young man, that looked you in the eye when he was speaking. |

This is an easy one.
Huron's best player ever- Jared Hohler
-Amassed 1500 passing yards, 200 rushing yards
-Led his team to a 3-7 record
-Obvious All-Ohio snub.
-Record would have been better if he had receivers who could make plays.
Other players worth mentioning:
Cody Thompson
Robert Dence
Ryan Pickett
Dean Dickerson
Steve West

I'm assuming we are talking exclusively football players here.
The greatest single performance in any sport, witnessed in my lifetime is that of Scott Fry, 1985 grad of Sandusky Perkins
Everyone in Ohio Stadium was on their feet, screaming and applauding as Scot Fry lapped the entire field in his record breaking 3200 run, some of them twice...lol
Scott won five AA state championships (two in cross
country, two in the 1600m, and one in
the 3200m). He still holds the all-time
Ohio State Meet record in the 3200m
(8:49) and cross country (14:50) as
well as the Division II State Meet record
in the 1600m (4:08.03).
Fry is the all-time Ohio high school record holder
for the 3000m (8:08.1) and also ran
8:46.7 for the 3200m which was the
fastest time in the nation in 1985.
He also was the 1984 Kinney (Footlocker) National Cross Country
Champion as well as the Golden West,
and the Jr. National 5000m.
After high school, Scott competed for the
University of Wisconsin where he was a
five time NCAA All-American and a five
time Big Ten champion (setting three
Big Ten meet championship meet
records).
He was also a member of two
NCAA championship teams and placed
5th individually at the 1987 NCAA cross
country championships.
Fry placed 8th in the 5000 meters at the 1988 U.S.
Olympic Trials and 12th in the 10,000
meters in the 1992 Olympic Trials

All around sports Fry takes the cake for Perkins no question. If we are talking Football I have these guys in order.
1. Johnathon Souter, Not sure if he went and played anywhere after high school. His highlights and numbers from HS tell a story all of there own.
1. Brandon Schnittker (Spelling) Ohio State Commit, played Fullback for the buckeye. The most fond memory sitting next to him when he read his letter to the Perkins school board when they fired Rock Farlow as the head football coach. This guy was a class act!
These two monsters were a duo of power, speed, and believe it or not agility. Throw a quick little guy like Mel Burns in the backfield and its hard to find a better talented backfield then what Perkins had in 1999.

Some great choices, but I'd also throw in Ryan Stevens. Best OL to come through Willard and only 3-time All-Ohioan ever at Willard. |
