This is the third of announcement of honorees for the Class of 2022, and each week from here forward, an additional group will be released.

The OVAC Hall of Fame is sponsored by Robinson Auto Group.

Here’s a capsule look at the latest honorees:

LORI HEADY, Buckeye Trail (Class of 1980) — Heady was nothing short of dominating for Coach Dave Linn’s basketball juggernaut.

The talented 6-foot center tallied 1,594 career points during her illustrious Trail career. Her final three campaigns saw Linn’s charges compile a 71-4 record while advancing to the state tournament each season.

As a senior, Heady averaged 19 points and 12 rebounds per contest. She garnered first-team All-Ohio honors from both the UPI and AP. Both wire services named her Class A Player of the Year.

During her final campaign at Trail, she led her team to a sparkling 26-1 record. The lone blemish came in the state championship game, falling to Mansfield St. Peter’s, 61-57.

She was a first-team All-OVAC, All-District 12 and All-Eastern District selection while also being named honorable mention All-American. She played in the OVAC and District 12 all-star games.

As a junior, Heady was an integral part in Trail capturing the coveted state basketball championship. The Warriors capped a sparkling 23-2 season by downing Holgate, 51-32, in the Class A title tilt.

She was a first-team All-Ohio selection as she averaged 15 points a game. Heady was a third-team all-state honoree as a sophomore, a campaign in which she averaged 16.5 points per contest.

Trail amassed a superb 22-1 record in her sophomore season. The lone blemish came at the hands of Smithville, 41-38, in the Class A state tourney semifinals.

Heady continued her basketball career at the University of Charleston. She earned three letters on the collegiate level, netting 873 career point and 807 rebounds.

Heady helped Charleston pocket three WVIAC regular-season crowns and two conference tournament championships. Charleston reached the NAIA National Tournament twice.

Heady was previously inducted into the District 12 Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2015.

JEFF WOOFTER, Oak Glen (Class of 1981) — Woofter was a football, wrestling and track star for the Golden Bears. It was on the gridiron, however, where the 6-5, 238-pounder made his biggest impact, following in the footsteps of older brother, Jim, who starred at Tennessee.

Woofter was a three-year starter on the offensive line and linebacker for Oak Glen while also handling the punting chores. During his senior campaign he was named first-team all-state in Class AAA, first-team All-Valley and first-team All-OVAC. The Golden Bears enjoyed a winning campaign that fall, marking just the fourth such season in school annals.

An exclamation point on his banner senior campaign was Woofter receiving the coveted Hunt Award. It is presented to the West Virginia all-class lineman of the year.

He charted 120 tackles at linebacker as a senior while picking off three passes, covering three fumbles and forcing five others.

Woofter topped all Ohio Valley punters with a 40.7 average.

As a junior, he was accorded second-team All-State honors while being tabbed first-team All-OVAC. He graded out at 90 percent blocking efficiency before graded out at 91 percent as a senior.

Woofter’s bulk and athleticism lended themselves nicely to the basketball hardwood. He was a three-year hoop starter for the Golden Bear roundballers, netting more than 800 career points.

He was also standout in track & field, earning three letters. He qualified for the West Virginia state meet in the shot put and discus two years, placing third as a senior in the discus with a toss of 153-8.

After receiving his Oak Glen diploma, Woofter took his immense grid skills to Penn State, choosing the Nittany Lions over some 50 D-I offers.

Woofter was a two-year starter for Joe Paterno in Happy Valley.

He is currently the superintendent for the Barbour County Schools. He previously served as Hancock County sheriff.
