A 1964 graduate of Xavier, Bleier went on to play at the University of Notre Dame and then for 12 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After winning a national championship at Notre Dame, he recovered from severe injuries in the Vietnam War to earn a spot as a starter on the first team to win four Super Bowls – which the Steelers accomplished during a 6-year span... 1975, ’76, ’79 and ’80. Rocky Bleier His #23 jersey is the first uniform ever retired X in Xavier H.S. history. STAFF-14 A [ M2-C9----XAVIER--MEDIA-PACKS----X-STAFF--2014 ] 2 Rocky Bleier Field Rocky Bleier Field at Xavier was dedicated Friday night, Oct. 12, 2007 in a special ceremony prior to the XHS football game at the Knights of Columbus Sports Complex behind XHS. The gate was manufactured by Metalist Laserfab of Oshkosh as a gift to Xavier High School. Note how there are 23 spindles at the bottom of the gates, the same number as Rocky's football jersey number for the Hawks when he played for Coach Gene ‘Torchy’ Clark. Below, the Fox Valley Vietnam Veterans Honor Guard presents the colors and the Knights of Columbus Honor Guard awaits to escort Rocky & the dignitaries into the facility for the dedication ceremony. Rocky, captains & game officials meet before the game for the coin toss. 3 Rocky Bleier, left, and Tim Hanna, the mayor of the City of Appleton, during a ceremony on Saturday morning, Oct. 13, 2007, when the City of Appleton dedicated Rocky Bleier Run. The street is near Jones Park in downtown Appleton, close to where Bleier grew up back in the 1950's and 60's. He used to run the steps and hills of the park as part of his athletic training and then his rehab from injuries suffered in 1969 during the Vietnam War. Artist’s Rendition: Rocky Bleier Run This is an artist’s drawing of what the City of Appleton will create in the area of Jones Park in downtown Appleton as part of Rocky Bleier Run. The entire plan includes making the area a gateway from downtown through Jones Park to the city’s new Waterfront Riverwalk. 4 FACILITY TID-BITS - ROCKY MAKEOVER Rocky Bleier Field on the Knights of Columbus Sports Complex Xavier Football The former Knights of Columbus Athletic Field at Xavier has undergone a major makeover, and there now is a new name for the Hawks’ home turf. The facility received: 1. a new grass playing surface, 2. a new 8-lane running track which has a top- of-the line rubberized surface, 3. a new 4-foot high permanent fence entirely around the outside lane of the track, 4. new & huge aluminum bleachers -- with fully- enclosed, increased seating and a specially designed sight-line... which enables spectators to better see all of the lanes for a track meet when runners go in front of the seating area, plus it gives significantly better visibility for the football field, 5. new, much larger 2-level press box to accommodate news media and coaches, 6. new, double-wide runway for the jumping Aerial view, 2005 events & pole vault, 7. new, larger high jump area, 8. new, handicap access ramp and wheelchair seating areas in the bleachers, 9. new, pro-model 30-foot-high, arched football goal posts, with an 8-foot offset, 10. new underground, automatic watering system and drainage tile, 11. new main ticket entrance area, spectator walkway and engraved brick area, 12. new, larger scoreboard – in memory of the late Bradley Williams, the Xavier football player who in September, 2005 collapsed and died on the XHS football practice field from a congenital heart problem completely unrelated to football, 13. new, brick concession stand with storage & restrooms, and, 14. new, 485-foot deep well to pump water from an underground river deep below the game field. It enables water to be put on all of the athletic fields at Xavier without expensive city water. Most of the work was done in 2004, when Xavier played its home games at the St. Joseph Middle School field in Appleton. The huge KofC field project was spearheaded by the Xavier Booster Club, which also recently helped with the installation of 4 new tennis courts on the St. Joe’s grounds as well as a complete renovation of the Xavier football practice field, located adjacent to the game field. Considerable work has been headed by the XBC since that major makeover. TID-BITS ROCKY MAKEOVER [ M2-C9----XAVIER--MEDIA-PACKS----TID-BITS | ROCKY FIELD MAKEOVER ] 5 PROFILE Xavier Coach David Hinkens e 2014 Football Season 2014 = 14th season as head football coach at Xavier. He is only the 10th head varsity football coach in school history, as XHS begins its 55th season of Xavier Football. Hinkens is the first to coach a Hawk team in the WIAA Football Playoffs. He has coached Xavier in the Playoffs during 11 of the past 12 seasons – his first XHS team missed out of the Playoffs via an obscure, since-eliminated tiebreaker. And, 2012 was the first time XHS did not qualify for the Playoffs after 10 straight appearances. – Six of the Xavier teams coached by Hinkens won a conference championship (2011, ’10, ’09, ’05, ’04, ’02) and 3 times his Hawks finished just one game out of the top spot in league play while taking second in ’06 and ’13, and third in ’07. Eleven of his 12 previous Xavier squads never had more than 3 losses in a regular season. All of the losses in 2008 were to eventual Playoff teams, including 2 to eventual state champs. The 2010

  • G Quinn Meinerz
    UW-Whitewater’s Quinn Meinerz hopes to become latest D3 success story in NFL By Matt Reynoldson WFRV April 28, 2021 If you play DIII college sports, you truly love the game. And it’s easy to see just how much football is in the heart of Quinn Meinerz. The former UW-Whitewater offensive lineman has been training for a career in the NFL, and can’t wait for the college draft begin on Thursday night. “It’s unbelievable. I mean like you said, we all have the dream but when you go Division III, kind of the reality sets in a little bit that when you get to your junior and senior year, that there’s not really an opportunity,” said Meinerz. “But it’s cool that I’ve been able to have this opportunity and take Warhawk football, Division III and Wisconsin athletes, and carry all those things on my shoulder and hopefully I can carry it to the NFL. Not too long ago it was ‘Am I going to get drafted?’ Now it’s just kind of a matter of when.” Meinerz doesn’t lack confidence, but he also isn’t cocky and his performance at the Senior Bowl against D1 competition gave him confidence in knowing he belongs. “After like the first couple snaps, when I was finally going against the live competition, I’m not sure whether it was one on one or stuff like that, but I realized really quickly that ‘hey I can really handle myself,’ said Meinerz. “I was going to practice like I was going to be fighting for my life every play, but I’m not fighting for my life, I’m handling and sometimes dominating my opponent, so it was really a big confidence booster early on day one.” Meinerz put together a video montage of him working out in a remote part of Canada where his family owns a fishery, and put it online to help market himself.
