2009 WHHS Sports Stag - April 30

After the success of the inaugural WHHS Stage in 2008, for which University of Cincinnati Bearcat Head Coach Brian Kelly served as the keynote speaker, George Kontsis and his staff, the Walnut Hills AD, and the WHHS Alumni Association are happy to announce that former Chicago Bear Tom Waddle will be the keynote speaker on April 30.  Mr. Waddle is currently Sports Analyst for the NFL Network and ESPN Radio.   The event will take place at 6:00 at the Ridge Club (3097 Losantiville Avenue).  Call 513-363-8500 for details.

There will be a special award to honor former NFL All Pro wide receiver Dick Gordon, a member of the Walnut Hills Class of 1961.

We congratulate Ben Heiser for his career at Walnut Hills High School.  The TD Club and the WHHS Coaching Staff are proud of Ben and his accomplishments.  Heiser has decided to attend Fordham University and will play football for the Rams.  Good luck, Ben.  We know you'll make your family proud.

Looks like Dan Weintraub caught his first collegiate pass for Oberlin last Saturday.  Nice job, Dan.  We're sure there will be many more!!!!

Dan Weintruab, a 2007 FAVC Cardinal First Team selection at wide receiver, is attending Oberlin College and will play football for the Yeomen.  As a senior at Walnut Hills, Weintraub caught 47 passes for 663 yards with 5 TDs, averaging 14.1 yards per catch.  Weitraub is currently going through summer practice and saw playing time in Oberlin's most recent scrimmage.  He is a pre-med major and chose Oberlin based on its stellar record in placing its graduates in medical school. He is considering Internal Medicine and Neurology among other specialties.   Good luck, Dan.  We're proud of you!
