Hanneman is the man!

Who’s the man?
I’ll tell you who the man is…Dave Hanneman is the man.
Husband, father, author, raconteur and award-winning sports writer.
I know a lot of sports writers and Dave is the best. No one in this part of the state can craft local sports stories and columns like Dave can.
Buster and I give him a rash of shit on a daily basis but that’s because we know he’s the best.
The Associated Press Society of Ohio released it’s list of finalists for awards in various categories and Dave was a finalists in three of them. Being up for AP awards is a yearly event for the pride of Kalida.
So if Dave reads this and I know he will eventually. This is just letting him know that I think he’s the best!
Tomorrow we’ll look at the district semifinal girls basketball games…and boy there are gonna be some dandies!
Here are the AP awards nominees from our division in sports…
