 The illustrious football program at Wyoming High School (740 wins in
                                                program history) has produced numerous outstanding athletes, but none of
                                                them scored more points in a single season than did senior running back
                                                C.J. Hester.
 
 Last season as a junior, C.J. accounted for a total of 278 points in
                                                rushing, receiving, punt returns and two-point conversions for the
                                                Cowboys. Wyoming went 10-0 in league play, undefeated in the CHL for the
                                                sixth straight season and won their 37th conference title overall. The
                                                Cowboys are currently on a 59-game regular-season winning streak, the
                                                longest winning streak in Ohio in all football divisions. The Cowboys
                                                are the winningest program all-time in Ohio history with a 78% winning
                                                percentage.
 
 His junior year, C.J. rushed for a league-leading 2,428 yards (35 TDs)
                                                with 178 yards receiving (four TDs). His 2,484 yards was second most in
                                                the Southwest Ohio area and he ran for 200+ yards eight times in games
                                                last season. He was named CHL Offensive Player of the Year, Southwest
                                                Ohio District Div. IV Player of the Year (for the second time),
                                                Cincinnati Div. IV Player of the Year (Enquirer) and Ohio Div. IV Player
                                                of the Year. C. J. is also a defensive stalwart as a defensive back.
                                                Last season, he had 32 total tackles with four takeaways (three fumble
                                                recoveries and one interception). C.J. was selected as a first-team
                                                running back in this season's Tri-State Football's preseason rankings.
 
 Big games last season for C.J. included running for 248 yards (three
                                                TDs) vs. Mariemont, 232 yards (five TDs) vs. Madeira and 230 yards
                                                (three TDs) vs. Indian Hill, a game in which he also scored on a punt
                                                return for a TD and had three two-point conversions. He started this
                                                season strong, too, rushing for 113 yards and three touchdowns in a 35-0
                                                win vs. Harrison.
 
 C.J. also wrestled for the Cowboys his freshman and sophomore years and
                                                was a sectional champ and a state qualifier. One of the top
                                                scholar-athlete football players in the state of Ohio, C.J. will play
                                                football collegiately at Western Michigan University. His favorite
                                                entertainer is Drake, favorite movie is Troy and most-like-to-meet is
                                                Joe Mixon.
