Conclusion...... John Popovich Guest Speaker: Dave Lapham

Dave Lapham, the former Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman, is possibly best known as the color analyst on the Cincinnati Bengals Radio Network. For the past 30 years, he has become famous for urging on Bengal players with exhortations such as “come on!” and “get him!” saying “uh- oh” when a sack or interception is in the works, “oooh baby” after a Bengals score, and calling players by their first names.

Prior to working with his current partner Dan Hoard (2011-Present), Lapham has shared the booth with other Cincinnati Bengals radio broadcast voices including long-time play-by-play announcer Brad Johansen (2000-2010), USC Trojans’ announcer Pete Arbogast (1997-1999), Ohio State University play-by-play announcer Paul Keels (1996), Ken Broo (1991-1995), and Phil Samp (1986-1990), the Bengals’ original play-by-play announcer. Lapham has also shared color commentary in the radio booth with former Cincinnati Bengals’ quarterback, Ken Anderson (1987-1991).

Besides game day broadcast duties, Lapham (together with Hoard) co-hosts Bengals Weekly with Marvin Lewis, a recap and preview television show and appears as a panelist on Sports Rock, a local (Cincinnati) sports commentary program. Additionally, he is an analyst on Fox Sports Net’s broadcasts of Big 12 Conference football games.

Prior to his broadcasting career, Lapham played professional football for the ’s Cincinnati Bengals (1974-1983) and the United States Football League’s (1984-1985). He was selected by the Bengals in the third round of the 1974 draft, as the 61st overall pick. During his professional football career, he played all five offensive line positions and was a key player on the 1981 Bengals squad that defeated the San Diego Chargers (27-7) to win the AFC championship, but lost to the (26-21) in XVI.

Lapham is a 1974 graduate of , where he lettered in football (3 years) and was a team captain. He played in the 1973 East-West Shrine Game, the North-South Game, the Senior Bowl and the Hula Bowl. He was also a 3-year letter winner and captain in football and basketball at Wakefield Memorial High School in Wakefield, Massachusetts, as well as a four-year letterman and captain in track. He is a member of the school’s hall of fame.

CHAPTER OUR PURPOSE

Football trains boys in courage, competition and sportsmanship. It builds physical and moral fiber in an age of luxury and softness. Looked at from a broad perspective, it is a national force unique to America; teaching qualities of heart and spirit which complete the educational process of the whole man.

The spirit of competitive sports, however, should be in its proper place in the scheme of education. We want to keep football a game, not a business. If this goal is to be achieved, the “rules of the game” in America need a broad basis of public support. Building public support is the job of the more than one hundred chapters of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame across America.

Honoring the top Scholar-Athletes in the Greater Cincinnati area brings recognition to those young men who have excelled on the playingTH field, in their classrooms and in their communities. These awards dramatize our stand which49 can only beANNUAL successful with your support.

Please join with us in pursuing these goals by becoming a member of the National Football Foundation. Thank you.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL FOUNDATION 18 E. Fourth Street, Suite 100 • Cincinnati, OH 45202 • (513) 381-0825 Southwestern Ohio Award Named for Joe Quinn

The Southwestern Ohio “That’s Our Boy” Award is named after Joe Quinn, former sports writer at the Cincinnati Post. Joe retired in October, 1976, after working in the sports department of the Post for 41 years. He was the first to pick a High School All-Star Team, the first to write a column about high school sports, and the first to write about the high school scene on a daily basis. Joe Quinn organized the first meeting of high school coaches in Southwest Ohio; that meeting was the beginning of the Southwestern Ohio Football Coaches Association. As he recalled, “I thought it was a shame the way some people bickered and fought with each other; and if we could get together socially, it might develop some friendliness around the schools.” The first meeting was in the basement of the home of Fred Yeager, the coach at Central Vocational. There were eight coaches present. S.W.O.F.C.A. has grown to be the largest local football coaches’ organization in the state of Ohio. Joe passed away in 1980. We are pleased to honor Joe Quinn by naming the Southwestern Ohio Award: “The Joe Quinn That’s Our Boy Award.”

Northern Kentucky Award Named for Brian Williams
