From Hall of Honor press release dated July 22, 2010:

Bibbee earned four varsity letters as a standout defensive tackle between 1967-70. During that time, the Tigers posted a sparkling 33-4 overall record, including a pair of undefeated seasons in 1969 and 1970. Wittenberg was crowned national champions after winning the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) championship in 1969. The following year, Bibbee earned first-team all-conference and a pair of All-America honors (first-team Lutheran Brotherhood and second-team Associated Press) as he helped the Tigers to a 9-0 record. A graduate of nearby Springfield North High School and a member of his alma mater’s athletics hall of fame, Bibbee also earned one letter in wrestling and four more in track and field at Wittenberg as an all-conference thrower. He recorded a whopping 54 first-place finishes in the discus, shot put and hammer events, including three individual OAC titles, and he led the team in points scored in 1970 and 1971. After earning his bachelor’s degree from Wittenberg in art, Bibbee remained in Springfield, first working as a sheriff’s deputy and then working in the family business, Brockman Furnace, where he continues to work as a supervisor.
