Heitert led CBC to the Missouri State High School Activities Association Class Six state title this season with a 48-21 victory over Liberty North. He passed for 96 yards on seven completions and a pair of touchdown passes while adding 82 yards rushing to pace the Cadets attack in the championship game.
