2014 Commitments

Ian Bunting (Hinsdale Central, IL) -Hinsdale fell in the opening round of the Illinois playoffs. Bunting played well, catching a 50-yard strike among others, but it wasn't enough in the end.

2015 Commitments

Andrew David (Washington, OH) - Washington won by 27, moving to 8-2 on the year heading into the Ohio state playoffs.

Damien Harris (Madison Southern, KY) - Madison Southern took the week off and will play Letcher County Central in the opening round of the Kentucky playoffs. He will surely run for mega yardage.

Tyree Kinnel (Wayne, OH) - Wayne beat Northmont and is now 9-1 heading into the Ohio playoffs.

Jon Runyan Jr. (St. Joseph's Prep, PA) -St. Joe's beat Roman Catholic (yes, Roman Catholic) and is now 7-2.

Gold Star to Put on Momma's Refrigerator Award

Statistics were tough to come by this week, making this award harder to give out. It goes to QB Wilton Speight after the young man led his Collegiate squad to another win, throwing and running for multiple touchdowns.

Numbers will surely be easier to come by next week when these teams are all receiving heavier coverage in the playoffs.
