For West Chester (Ohio) Lakota West senior two-way athlete Ben Minich, Friday night’s 35-0 win over Princeton to advance in the OHSAA playoffs was another week down on his final season as a Firebird.
The game was the next step in the Firebirds’ goal of winning a state championship, but it also marked the final time Minich would play under the lights on his home field, something not lost to the future member of Marcus Freeman’s football team at Notre Dame.
Minich talks about his team’s win, growing up in the Firebirds program, goals of winning a state title, and future as a student-athlete at Notre Dame in this exclusive interview presented by First Star Logistics.
