COLUMBIANA, OHIO- The Baird Brother Big Dog of the Year is a big opportunity for student athletes to show their true leadership to their team and the community that they are apart of. The Baird Brother Big Dog Award is decided by local fans who want to show their appreciation of a player in their community. For athletes to be in consideration for the Big Dog of the Year Award, they have to win a weekly poll in the regular season and as well as winning two different sets of polls against athletes that have also won the award.

After tallying up all of the votes, the winner of 2023  Baird Brother Big Dog of the Year is Drew Gault from the Heartland Christian Lions. Drew Gault has been one of the true leaders for the Lions this year and he is greatly appreciated by the Columbiana community. Congratulations once again to Drew Gault on winning the 2023 Baird Brothers Big Dog of the Year!
