Did you know Ohio State football's winningest and most legendary coach of all-time doesn't have a statue in his own hometown?
We didn't either, and we intend to rectify that situation with your help.
Newcomerstown, Ohio, a gem of a village in Tuscarawas county with a population under 4,000, was the home of Wayne Woodrow "Woody" Hayes during his formative years.
Hayes played center for the Newcomerstown high school football team even serving as captain his senior year while his father, Wayne Benton Hayes, enjoyed his post as school superintendent for 20 years.
After high school, Woody graduated from Denison University, served in the Navy during World War II, and moved on to head coaching positions at both Denison and Miami University before becoming Ohio State's 19th head coach in 1951.
