FEATS OF THE WEEK

Only one week into the high school football season, and defending Prep Poll champion Cincinnati, St. Xavier has already tasted defeat. The Bombers were upset, 13-8, by Colerain before around 15,000 fans at Nippert Stadium. Because of graduation and injuries, only two of the 22 players who started St. Xavier's final game last season were on the field against Colerain . . .

No. 12 Cleveland, Glenville reigned supreme in an early season battle between Northeast Ohio's top two teams. The Tarblooders beat then-No. 11 St. Ignatius, 20-17, on a 30-yard field goal by Marvel Brooks at the end of the game . . .

In Indiana, ESPN televised regionally ranked Carmel's 28-21 defeat of Indianapolis, Cathedral. Quarterback Morgan Newton suffered heat-related leg cramps but still led the Greyhounds back from a 21-7 first-half deficit. The Kentucky recruit had 194 passing yards, 89 rushing yards, and four touchdowns . . .

No. 25 Greenwood, Center Grove entered the national rankings after blasting Dayton, Ohio, Carroll, 41-0. Georgia Tech-bound quarterback Jordan Luallen scored two rushing touchdowns . . . Indianapolis, Warren Central moved into the regional rankings after throttling state-ranked Merrillville, 42-0. The Warriors had over 300 rushing yards in the first half.

Thanks Tulsa World for publishing the National High School rankings and also the regional High School rankings. There are a lot of high school football fans in Oklahoma that appreciate the info. This news helps us determine where the recruiting hotspots are located. The last I heard, players play the games.
There is too much emphasis on coaches; particularly since the football rules book states there is actually no requirement for a team to have a coach.

yes Mr "Don't hate" I hate cheaters, and Jenks also rules that list as well.

It's sad that there are people like you in this world, where principles do not matter as long as they get results.

And as far as being a follower, you are the follower. You have no thoughts of your own, you are shaped by the thoughts of others. Jenks allows winning, at all cost, to shape it's decisions. You might think this is OK, I chose to think cheating in not right, call me a follower if you want
