Brothers Kaleb (left) and Korey Ringer helped their Northmont football team bring down Wayne High School last Friday, Oct. 2. Linebacker Kaleb, a sophomore, won the Hammer Award for the hardest hits. Running back Korey is a senior.
CLAYTON ? When Kaleb Ringer was in the fourth grade, his family moved from Huber Heights to the school district that included Northmont High School.
Kaleb, the third of four Ringer brothers, didn?t have the same knowledge of the coming high school that he did about his family?s athletic legacy.
?I had never heard of Northmont,? Kaleb said.
Many people, though, had already heard of the Ringers.
Continuing a new family tradition at Northmont, Korey (a senior running back) and Kaleb (a sophomore linebacker) have helped the Thunderbolts to a 4-2 record, including impressive performances in their previous two games, wins against Fairborn and Wayne.
With a father, Kevin, who starred at Belmont High School before playing at Iowa and an uncle, Javon, who excelled as a running back at Chaminade Julienne and Michigan State and now plays for the NFL?s Tennessee Titans, the Ringers have faced steep expectations.
In many ways, they have delivered.
Their talents were on display on Friday, Oct. 2, in Northmont?s key Greater Western Ohio Conference game against Wayne. Kaleb, 6 feet and 219 pounds, grabbed two interceptions in the first half, including one he returned 52 yards for a touchdown and another he tipped to himself in the open field.
