Bird, Woodruff in Wheeler's 'Schoolboy Legends' book

Two members of the New Richmond Lions Sports Hall of Fame are featured in segments in New Richmond author Lonnie Wheeler's new football book, "Cincinnati Schoolboy Legends."

Former Lions coach Ron Bird, who ranks 26th all time among coaches in Ohio will a career record of 209-111-5, and Dwayne Woodruff, who played for Bird in the mid-70s and went on to enjoy an 11-year career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, were selected by Wheeler and co-author John Baskin for their book about a hundred years of Cincinnati's most storied football players and coaches.

The book is available at area book stores and online at Orange Frazer Press.
