Dan Amato, who grew up only two blocks from Steinecker Stadium and practiced kicking there for years, booted the game-winning field goal there last night in an all-star game to wrap up his high school career in fairy-tale fashion.

Amato, a quarterback and kicker at Central Catholic for three years, gave his Black team a 15-13 win over the Gold by drilling a 25-yard field goal with 10.4 seconds left in the Regional All-Star Football Game last night at Perrysburg.

"I live two blocks from here and kick every other day here in the summer. I was just thinking to myself I've done this so many times in practice it is just another kick and it happened," Amato said. "I've never kicked a game-winning field goal and tonight to end my career like this is a good feeling.

"This is why I've played sports for 19 years."

Amato, who was named the Black team's MVP, was 7-for-11 for 113 yards and a touchdown.

Defiance graduate Graham Wagner, who will play football at Ohio Dominican College, alternated with Amato at quarterback. Graham was inserted with 4:32 left and his team down 13-12. He drove his team 62 yards to set up Amato's field goal with passing plays of 35 and 13 yards.

"We did it when it counted," Wagner said. "This is one thing you dream of to just be in the spotlight."

Black coach Chris Werbylo said his team's two blocked punts were the difference. One set up a touchdown.

Fairview graduate Steve Olwin, the quarterback of the Gold team, was named his squad's MVP. He was coached for the last time by his father, Bob, while playing in his last football game.

"I'm glad about the MVP, but I'd take a win over this anytime," he said. "It was a special thing and it was a great experience. I knew my dad really wanted to see me out there again, and I wanted him to coach me again."

Olwin threw was 10-of-16 for 191 yards and hooked up with teammate Mike Mack on an 81-yard touchdown play early in the game. Olwin drove his team 64 yards late in the game to set up a 18-yard field goal by Northview's Jim Spencer that put the Gold up 13-12 with
4:32 left.

On the game's first possession, Olwin connected on a 46-yard pass play to Delta's Nate Kmic. Four plays later Spencer gave his team a 3-0 lead with 2:20 gone in the game.

Late in the first quarter, Amato took the Black team on a seven play, 74-yard drive to give his team the lead. Amato capped the drive with a 12-yard TD strike to Swanton's Matt Taynor.

The Gold scored just three plays later on Olwin's long throw to Mack who streaked down the left sideline and went untouched into the end zone. "They're very close friends and have thrown together for years," coach Olwin said. "We threw it out there and let him do the rest."

Late in the third quarter, the Black team's Zak Kruse of Napoleon blocked a punt that was recovered at the Gold 7-yard line.

Three plays later Wagner scored on a QB sneak to put the Black up 12-10 with 4:42 left in the third. "A lot of guys stepped up when we needed to and made big plays," Wagner said.

Southview receiver Aaron Waldie had three catches for 67 yards.

After Spencer nailed his second field goal for the Gold, Wagner's clutch drive set up Amato's dramatic kick.

Hillsdale Signs WR, LB

As the over-hyping of National Letter of Intent Signing has faded, Hillsdale College head football coach Keith Otterbein and his staff have remained hard at work, trying to finalize this year's recruiting class. Recently signed at two players who bring added speed to the Charger football program.

Aaron Waldie, 5'11, 175, WR, Sylvania (OH) Southview Waldie is a two-time Div. 2 All-Ohio wide receiver who caught 50 passes for 820 yards and 12 touchdowns last season.

"I am very excited to be a part of the great football tradition at Hillsdale," Waldie said recently. "I have heard nothing but great things about the program and the school."

Waldie brings with him soft hands and great speed. He turned heads this summer with a 4.5 (electronic) 40 yard dash time that earned him the "Smokehouse Champion" award as the fastest athlete at the University of Michigan football camp. He also won the camp's coveted "Best Hands Award".

Southview Coach Jim Mayzes recently stated, "Aaron is an exceptional football player. He is a very coach-able, intelligent athlete and a team player with a good positive head on his shoulders and a desire to succeed each and every day. Aaron has a 3.5 gpa, he's a National Honor Society member, a team captain and has been a natural driven leader on the team since he stepped foot on the field 4 years ago. He not only consistently catches the ball but makes something happen after the catch on almost every occasion."

Cougars' Waldie Is Named Mirror Player Of The Year

Cougars' Waldie Is Named Mirror Player Of  The Year

Southview wide receiver Aaron Waldie pulls down one of his 50 regular-season receptions during a September 14 game against Springfield. Waldie was The Mirror's unanimous selection as its Player of the Year for the 2004 football season. Waldie earned all-league, district and state honors for his 50 receptions 820 yards and 11 touchdowns. In addition, his play on both defense and special teams helped propel the Cougars to a 9-2 record and a trip to the regional quarterfinals this season. He is the second Southview player in as many years to be selected for the honor.

 

BY ANDREW ROWER MIRROR SPORTS

The Mirror is pleased to announce its selections for the fifth annual All-Mirror football team. The Northern Lakes League continued to carve out a reputation for having some of the finest high school football talent in Northwest Ohio this season. For the second straight year, three of its eight teams – Maumee, Rossford and Southview – earned state playoff births.

The Panthers (9-3) defeated Olentangy 24-14 in the first round of the playoffs before bowing out with a 30- 6 loss to Tiffin Columbian in the regional semifinal. Southview (9-2), also competing in Division II, was edged out of the regional quarterfinals by Amherst, 14- 7, and Rossford (7-4) was beaten by Otsego in Division IV. Nonetheless, the attention and excitement these three teams brought to the NLL was unforgettable. Following the season, the league had a total of 33 players receive special mention from the district, and six of them received additional statewide honors.

This hefty number can be attributed to the coaches and players who put themselves on the line night after night for the better part of four months. The sports department at The Mirror believes these individuals should be commended. With The Mirror giving complete yearly coverage to Anthony Wayne, Maumee and Springfield High Schools, its sports reporters see all eight teams in the league at least three times throughout the season.

Because of this exclusive coverage, All-Mirror players are selected solely from the NLL. The selection process was based on a number of other factors, including coaches' opinions, writers' observations and total statistics for the season (including non-league but not playoff games). Northern Lakes League contests provided quite a variety of highlights this year. At the beginning of the season, Southview was the unanimous pick to repeat as the 2004 league champs. Maumee and Rossford were selected second and third, Anthony Wayne and Springfield fourth and fifth and Northview, Perrysburg and Bowling Green rounded out the final three spots.

The top three predictions from the poll came to fruition, but the remaining five finished in an unexpected order. Jeff Cullen's Bobcats surprised everyone with a 4-3 league record – moving up four spots to No. 4, and the Wildcats moved up to fifth with a 3-4 record – the same mark as the Generals. The Yellow Jackets and Blue Devils took the final two spots with identical 1-6 records. When choosing our Coach of the Year, The Mirror found it hard to look any further than its own back yard and Maumee's John Boles. Boles has been at Maumee for six years and has compiled a 120-76 career record. The Panthers finished 9-3 in 2003 and graduated all but four of their starters. Boles and his coaching staff were forced to replace 10 offensive players – including their entire offensive line – and seven defensive starters.

Not surprisingly, the 2003 recipient of the award and this season's NLL Coach of the Year, Southview's Jim Mayzes, received consideration. Southview wide receiver Aaron Waldie, Mayzes' star pupil, was an even easier choice for The Mirror's Player of the Year. Waldie was voted second team All-Mirror, as a sophomore, with 39 receptions for 607 yards and five touchdowns. He also was named to the second team as a kick/punt returner with a 20.1 average. He earned honorable mention as a cornerback with the help of three interceptions, two fumble recoveries and a sack.

As a junior, he was voted first team, All-Mirror with 52 catches for 1,126 yards and 11 touchdowns and also was named to the first team as a cornerback with four interceptions and a fumble recovery and given honorable mention as a kick/punt returner with a combined 12.7 average. This year, the 5-foot-11, 167-pounder reeled in 50 catches for 820 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also recorded 38 tackles, a pair of interceptions and three fumble recoveries and had a combined return average of 9.5 yards. Aside from Waldie, many additional individual highlights accented the 2003 season.

Four quarterbacks passed for 1,000 yards or more, with Southview's Andrew Skeels leading the way at 1,908. Rossford's Kevin Wagner finished just 10 yards shy of 1,000 in the rushing department and six receivers compiled more than 400 yards through the air. In the kicking department, the NLL had a pair of all-staters in Northview's Jimmy Spencer and Southview's Kevin Lanning. Spencer converted on 10 of 13 field goal attempts and averaged 48.5 yards per kickoff, and Lanning made 31 extra points and averaged 52.3 yards on kickoffs.

Defensively, Northview linebacker James Reed led the league in tackles for the second straight year with 122. Additional members of the 100 tackle club included Anthony Wayne linebacker Tim Babcock (112), Perrysburg defensive tackle Drew Crabtree (109) and linebacker Mike Dewar (103). Bowling Green's Tyler Fries led the league with six sacks, and Maumee defensive back Alex Junga set the interception mark at six. Although Waldie was the unanimous pick, Junga also should receive extra mention. He earned first-team status on the All-Mirror team as a utility player, with his multidimensional contributions. Junga pulled in 25 receptions for 608 yards and five touchdowns on the offensive side of the ball, added three touchdowns while averaging 14.9 yards on kick and punt returns and compiled 25 tackles, six pass deflections and a forced fumble.

Waugh, Waldie repeat All-Ohio first-team honors -

Marcus Waugh of St. John's Jesuit and Aaron Waldie of Southview have both been named All-Ohio first team in football for the second straight year by the Associated Press.

Waugh, who has committed to the University of Cincinnati as a fullback, was selected in Division I at linebacker, where he registered 82 tackles, eight for loss, and one interception. He made the D-I team at punter last season, when he filled in for injured teammate Blake Haudan. This year, after offseason knee surgery, Haudan regained his punting position, averaged 43.7 yards per kick, and earned All-Ohio first-team recognition.

Joining Waugh and Haudan on the D-I first-team were Whitmer's J.J. Fought (quarterback) and Kyle Andrews (defensive back) and Northview placekicker Jimmy Spencer.

Fought completed 58 of 127 passes for 875 yards and nine touchdowns and also ran 110 times for 620 yards and nine more scores. Andrews posted 64 tackles and one interception.

Scott running back Romen Walton and St. Francis de Sales linebacker Dan Waldock were both named to the D-I second team.

Waldie

Waldie, who helped Southview repeat as Northern Lakes League champion, repeated as a receiver on the Division II first team. He caught 50 passes for 820 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Also on the D-II first team were Maumee's Corey DeWitte (defensive lineman) and Alex Junga (defensive back), Central Catholic placekicker Dan Amato, and Tiffin Columbian running back Justin Reinbolt.

DeWitte made 98 tackles with 21 for loss, five sacks, six caused fumbles and a blocked punt. Junga had 30 tackles and six interceptions and broke up six passes.

Amato was good on 27 of 28 PAT attempts and 10 of 13 field goal tries with a long of 44 yards. Reinbolt put up 1,150 yards on 141 carries over seven games. He scored 20 touchdowns.

Included on the D-II second team were linebacker Brad Goatley of Maumee, offensive lineman Chris Dyko of Central, running back Robert Orta of Defiance, and defensive lineman Cody Hufford of Columbian.

Division I's award for best offensive player was shared by Lakewood St. Edward lineman Alex Boone and Canton McKinley's record-setting tailback, Ryan Brinson. Cincinnati Colerain's brick wall on defense, Terrill Byrd, was the top defensive player, with Colerain's Kerry Coombs sharing the coaching award with Cleveland Glenville's Ted Ginn Sr.

Defending state champion and No. 1-ranked Avon Lake dominated the top honors in Division II, with running back Bobby Doyle selected as the offensive player of the year and lineman Stephen Zywotek taking the defensive award. Steve Hale of Olentangy Liberty, Tallmadge's Joe Vassalotti and Rich Turner of Parma Normandy are the top coaches.

Boone is a 6-8, 320-pound senior who graded out at more than 90 percent on his blocking assignments, did not surrender a sack and totaled 47 "pancake" blocks for St. Ed.

Brinson, a 5-9, 175-pound senior, carried 177 times for 1,685 yards and 16 touchdowns during the regular season, adding six catches for 128 yards and two more scores. He owns most of McKinley's game, season and career rushing and scoring records.

Coombs guided Colerain to its perfect record, the AP poll title and a spot in this Saturday's Division I state championship game against McKinley. Ginn helped Glenville become the first Cleveland public school to advance to the regional finals.

Doyle, a 5-10, 195-pound senior, racked
