Wyandot Sports Hall of Fame

Travis Moyer is a 1995 Crestline High School graduate who got his start as a head football coach at Wynford High School, developing the Royals into one of the top football programs in Ohio during his tenure. His coaching success has continued at Wapakoneta High School as he has amassed more than 200 wins in his career already.

A two-time All-Ohioan, Moyer set the Crestline school record for career tackles with 515 while lettering all four years. He also earned three letters in basketball and one each in baseball and track and field. His teams had great success in both football and basketball. The Bulldogs won the 1993 North Central Conference championship and were the first team in school history to qualify for and win in the playoffs. Crestline was a district champion in basketball in 1995.

As big as those accomplishments are, he has done even more in his coaching career, which began as a varsity assistant volunteer coach for Crestline in 1995-96. He enrolled at Ashland University in the spring and became a student assistant for the baseball team for two seasons. While still a student at AU, he in 1997 was hired as a football and baseball assistant at Wynford and took over as football head coach upon graduation.

During Moyer’s 13 seasons as head coach of the Royals, they won nine NCC championships and qualified for the playoffs eight times. They had a 58-game regular season winning streak at one point and had their longest playoff run in 2011 when they reached the state semifinals and finished 13-1.

He left Wynford as the winningest coach in program history with 118 victories and has continued that success at Wapakoneta, where he has won 104 more games in 11 seasons. The Redskins have won nine Western Buckeye League championships and made the playoffs 10 times. They set the WBL record for consecutive league victories with 33 and consecutive championships with six and Moyer now is the winningest coach in that program’s history as well.

Moyer has been named the regional coach of the year seven times, and in 2015, he was the Associated Press All-Ohio Division III coach of the year. He has coached in the North-South All-Star Game five times and in the Big 33 Pennsylvania Ohio All-Star Game twice. He won 86 consecutive regular season games between Wynford and Wapakoneta.

Moyer and his wife, Erin, have four children, Peyton, Caleb, Tyler and Camden.
