Narrative:

We departed on a training flight. After air work in the south practice area we departed the practice area to heg. Arriving at heg I entered left downwind for runway 7. Winds were calm. I reported downwind; base and final for each pattern lap. On the 3RD pattern a C182 reported to be taxiing to runway 25. I continued approach for runway 7 and reported that I would be doing a touch and go. As I added power on my departure roll I noticed the C182 on the takeoff roll on runway 25. I immediately reduced power and applied brakes and right rudder. The C182 did the same. We passed at midfield within 50 ft from each other. At no time did I hear any other radio calls to the C182 or other aircraft. I returned to the run-up area and tried to reach the other aircraft. I had no response. Note: when taking off runway 7 or runway 25 you are unable to see the other end of the runway due to crown in the center of the airport.
