Geesy signs to
play football with Baldwin-Wallace College
Union City - Mississinawa Valley senior football player Dalton Geesy
hard work has paid off. The 6’3”, 240 lbs two-way lineman for the
Blackhawks is signing to play football at the college level with
Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, OH. The Division III school
competes in the nation’s best conference at that level, the Ohio
Athletic Conference (OAC). The Yellow Jackets also have a football
strong tradition including a National Championship in 1978 (under the
direction of Jim Tressel’s father, Lee) and several playoff appearances
and conference titles.
Geesy, who was a 1st team All Southwest District performer, as well as
Special Mention All-State, will join the Yellow Jackets as lineman.
Also a starter on Mississinawa’s basketball team, Geesy was the
cornerstone of the start of the football Blackhawks rebuild in 2015.
Despite an 0-10 season, the program showed increased participation both
during the season and the summer program, and this was in part due to
Geesy’s strong leadership. The son of Stephanie Sigler of Union City,
and Don Geesy of Greenville, he will study Sports Medicine at
Baldwin-Wallace.
