2006: THE YEAR IN REVIEW
Year's best story is about the future: Sanzenbacher, Buford to be Buckeyes
By STEVE JUNGA
BLADE SPORTS WRITER
Although 2006 paled in comparison to 2005 in terms of success on the state level, there were still plenty of memorable events involving local players, coaches and teams from the high school sports scene over the past 365 days.

Note the question mark next to the Mr. Football highlight; this may be a typo or placed as a comment by the Blade sports writer. The Piqua Indians and Brandon Saine may have won the Div II State Title and Mr. Football, but Toledo Central Catholic and Dane Sanzenbacher won our hearts and other accolades over the past two years with their impressive show.
OSU is gaining some very good athletes, in Sanzenbacher, Buford and Saine. Toledo area sport fans have much to follow and be proud of in the next 4 years as we watch these guys excel in their sports.
 Go Bucks!

I do not believe this has been mentioned, but Dane is playing in the East Meets West All-American Game on Saturday. It will be on ESPNU at 3:00 PM.

Dane in Orlando this Weekend
By now everyone must know I'm a huge Dane Sanzenbacher fan. Just for grins I did a quick comparison of his Junior Stats vs the WR's playing this weekend. His reception yards were more than twice the other WR's playing on both the East and the West. I don't have access to Rivals, but I would be interested in seeing what their Senior years stats looked like. Dane was a very productive receiver in HS and now he's a Buckeye!

I'd put his 61 receptions for 1,079 yards and 11 touchdowns up against just about anyone...

As a Senior he was down a little because of double coverage most of the season. As a Junior, his 71 receptions, 13 TDs, and 1424 yards were outstanding all the way the State Champs Game at Paul Brown Stadium.
Some say his size is an issue. He's a huge player by his numbers. He plays with his head and his heart.
VL said it best: "You've got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you've got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second..."
