<p>Wendy's</a> High School Heisman | Rewarding Athletic & Academic Excellence
Now Open
Deadline: October 2nd (do it early! - have to count on teacher reviewing by October 4th)</p>

<p>My daughter was her HS winner & a State Finalist but did not become a State Winner. However, she enjoyed the $35.00 in free food & the recognition at graduation with a medal & certificate presented to her. She also was contacted by a few colleges wondering if she planned on playing in College so recruiters pay attention I guess not sure because she did not want to pursue it.</p>

<p>NOTE: This is NOT a coach pick! It is NOT about ATHLETIC ABILITY just that you participated. My daughter had her Biology Teacher be her reviewer and her coach didn't even know about it until after we learned she won & school online paper ran an article in the sports page.</p>
