Oregon kicker’s grandparents are Oconee residents

There is special interest in tonight’s national collegiate championship football game in a home in a Lake Keowee development. Lakeside Drive residents Dwight and Janeen Baldus are grandparents of University of Oregon kicker Matt Wogan. And, of course, they’ll be rooting for Wogan and the rest of his Oregon Duck teammates as they play Ohio State for the national championship, as part of a new format to decide who is number one. Matt was a star kicker in high school near Charlotte, and his prowess there attracted interest from a university team on the other side of the country.  For the Ducks, he is the kickoff kicker.
