Warren G. Harding High School
Class of 2011


This decade/century alone, WGH has sent three different running backsto Division 1A schools, including two to Ohio State (Maurice Clarett in 2002 & Dan "Boom" Herron in 2007). All three of them represent the calibre of players that Demond Hymes grew up watching at WGH games, and now it is his turn to take his shot at the varsity level.

With his only experience up to this point coming at the freshman level, it would be foolish to think that Hymes will automatically be included in the group mentioned above. That said, Hymes knows that, and he has worked hard in an effort to get up to that level. It will take time to reach that goal, but he showed some signs on the field last year, and he's showing more signs in the weight room. Only time will tell how far Hymes can take his football career, so an early start this fall will go a long way in his development.

Here are highlights from Hymes' freshman season. Many of Ohio's best football programs, such as Steubenville, Cleveland St. Ignatius, Lakewood St. Ignatius, Youngstown Cardinal Mooney, and Youngstown Ursuline, and these are the type of programs that Hymes will continue to face as his career develops. Enjoy!

Obviously, not much out about this kid because hes two classes away. However, if his speed increases and he continues to get better, his height shouldnt be much of a problem. Look at Ray Rice (5'9"), tyrell sutton (5'9"). Sutton even put up impressive numbers against our stout defense. Keep an eye on this kid.

That would be nice. Hymes is a hard worker, which is a nice compliment for someone his age. If he gets anywhere near Tyrell Sutton's level. that would be huge. I don't think that most people in Ohio realize how good Sutton was while at Akron Hoban. He's very high on my list when it comes to the best that I've ever seen in Ohio.
