It's the Weekend

Time to get your head in the game...

Respect My Gangsta: Jaeden Washington

This kid might just be Christian Okoye's illegitimate son.

From Prep Rally:

Meet Jaeden Washington, a junior at St. Michael's College (Toronto, Ont., where colleges are the equivalent of American high schools). He's a two-sport athlete, starring in both football and rugby, and he's completely unstoppable in both.

Case in point: The touchdown run above. In one, 50-yard gallop, Washington broke 12 tackles and ran absolutely roughshod over the entire defense for St. Andrew's College (Aurora, Ont.).

Big Boy Coming Through

As if being a teenager these days isn't tough enough, now as a high school d-lineman you have to deal with running backs bigger and faster than you.

TJ with the assist.

I Want it All

Have you ever wondered if it's possible for a play to go the full 110 yards—the absolute maximum possible, when the ten yards of your own end zone are included—for a touchdown?

From Bro Bible:

Forget all you know about extremely long touchdowns. Sean Landez, a high schooler from the great state of Texas, has rewritten the history books with this 109.99999-yard touchdown return off a missed field goal. It really has to be seen to be believed.

Indeed. Remember kids: always play 'til the whistle.

The Bouquet Pass

To have success on a football field, you have to have a lot of faith in your teammates and coaches. That's especially true when you run a two-point conversion like this one.

Get Low

Petey Williams, of Wake Forest Rolesville (N.C.), has moves that even Neo would appreciate.

Chest Thumped

Be careful with kickers, they're fragile.

Sick Catch

Brandon Brown, a prep player from New Hampshire, makes it look easy. This was his team's first play from scrimmage...of the season. Looks like it's going to be a good year.

Get, Get Up, and Get Down

Ashley Lowery will be playing for the University of Kentucky next year. Their SEC opponents might want to take note.

Ray-Ray's Son Can Ball, Too

Typically, if you hear the words "Ray Lewis" and "over 500 total yards" in the same sentence, then you would expect the missing link to be "...ripped each of Baltimore's defensive backs a new asshole for giving up..." But in this case, the news brief is about his son, Ray Lewis III.

From Prep Rally:

According to the Orlando Sentinel, Ray Lewis III gained 504 yards in a 34-7 Lake Mary Prep win over Windermere Prep on Friday. Here's how his amazing offensive output broke down:

• 206 total yards and two touchdowns on punt returns

• 101 total yards on kickoff returns

• 104 yards rushing

• 27 yards receiving

• 66 yards passing, on a perfect 6-for-6 performance through the air

That's not bad. As Fanhouse pointed out, Lewis III's 504 yards was a full 328 more yards than the Jets put up against his dad's defense on Monday night. And, perhaps just to prove he is that Ray Lewis' son, Lewis III registered six tackles, too.

It looks like young Ray-Ray might be headed towards a football future as impressive as his dad's.

"Blow the whistle! Blow the whistle!!"

In the words of TJ: "I wonder if that kid was cut at halftime?"

Miracle Win

Woodland (CA) Pioneer High trailed rival Woodland High 8-7, with only one last gasp left. Standing on their own 43 yard line and the clock showing "0:02", their only shot at making the playoffs was crossing a line 171 feet away.

Easy.

Damn Kids

While things for Tony Romo are looking up, the fantasy stock of San Diego's Philip Rivers might soon be on the decline, thanks to this little news story coming out of a camp he runs for high school football players.

From Shutdown Corner:

In an incident eerily similar to LeBron's Dunkgate, the San Diego Chargers quarterback was schooled by a younger, less-experienced player during an activity at one of his camps. The only difference is, Rivers didn't send one of his lackeys to grab the tape of said incident to make sure it never saw the light of day.

I wonder if I can pick up Will Nunn in my draft?

Coach Meyer

Okay, this may not be as funny to some of you out there as it is to me. But I can post on the page and you can't, so "nyeah."

This is my buddy Johnny, a member of the sports team for KCCI in Des Moines, Iowa. As one of our friends just said, "Johnny will do anything for ratings."




And for a bonus, here's another of Johnny's hits. "Undercover" as a lunch lady.
