Not 100% sure but I believe 2004 winner Jeff Wera is in med school at UK.

Were you around in '96 when we played you guys in the playoffs? He had a monster game against Highlands and Raceland that year. Almost single handedly kept us in the Highlands game....well that and 3 fumbles by the Birds.

Brent Grover graduated from Purdue with a double major (at the time anyway, the first Purdue player to do so). I believe Brent is with the FBI.

I was at the NCC/Raceland game, he was dominate and a great athlete. I had already graduated, four years prior, and had my one year old son at the game with me. That son now plays for Eviston at Georgetown. Pretty funny how that worked out.

Also, Greg Mcgraw was an extremely talented safety as a frosh and sophomore at HHS but was forced to only play basketball because of back issues. He is at Pikeville Med. right now. He played basketball at Transy until he was no longer medically able to play that sport either because of his back. Many people do not realize this, but as a guy who graduated/played with him, I can tell you that he was one of, if not the best athlete in the class of 2008 at HHS.

Crazy good athlete. Coached against him when he was an 8th grader and it was obvious he was at a different level.

How far back does the That's my Boy award go back. I know it was given in the last 80's as Brian Williams from Cov Cath won it and I believe the award is actually named after him now.

There is one from SW Ohio and one from NKY.

 

The NKY one:

The Northern Kentucky “That’s My Boy” Award is named for Brian P. Williams, a former winner of the award, who died in New York in the World Trade Center on September, 11, 2001. He was 30 years old. Brian was a three sport star and a star in the classroom at Covington Catholic High School. He had an accumulative grade point average of 4.0 and was a three year varsity letterman in football on two state championship teams. Brian was team captain his senior year and was also First Team All-State as a tight end. He was a two-time silver medalist in the discus throw at the Kentucky State Championships and was also a First Team All Conference Basketball player in Northern Kentucky.

 

Brian continued his football career at Columbia University in New York City where he was a starter at tight end for four years. After graduation Brian began working as a bond trader at Canton-Fitzgerald whose offices were on the top floors of The World Trade Center. We are pleased to honor Brian Williams by naming the Northern Kentucky Award: “The Brian Williams That’s My Boy Award.”
