Max Kadish selected as "That's My Boy" finalist

Senior Max Kadish has been selected as a finalist for the 2011 That's My Boy award.

The Southwest Ohio Football Coaches Association (SWOFCA) web site states that, "The National Football Foundation-College Football Hall Of Fame/SWOFCA 'That's My Boy' Award is the most prestigious award for which a student-athlete in the Tri-State can be nominated.

The award takes into consideration high achievements in three areas: football, academics, and extracurricular involvement. Points are awarded based upon certain achievements in all three areas.  Once the points are tallied from each candidate, a "top 10" list is complied and those become the Finalists for the award.

A banquet is held yearly by the NFF (National Football Foundation) in February or March at a downtown Cincinnati hotel. It is a first-class, black tie affair that truly commemorates the achievements of the elite football student-athletes in the Tri-State area. It is a must-see event.

Scholarships are awarded to every finalist as well as football student-athletes from local colleges including Miami, Thomas More, UC and Mount St. Joseph. A guest speaker appears annually (Shaun Alexander, Mark Dantonio, Jim O'Brien, etc.) and speaks to the finalists.

The NFF ceremony is piggybacked by the Anthony Munoz Offensive/Defensive Lineman of the Year and the Marvin Lewis Foundation Coach of the year awards as well."

Wyoming has been well represented in the past - Jonathan Tighe (WHS '11), Harry Meisner (WHS '10) and Jeff King (WHS '07) have been recent finalists. Cowboys who won the award include 2010 WHS Hall of Fame Inductee Ahmed Plummer in 1995 and Assistant Varsity Football Coach Tom Berger in 1976.
