Ohio All Star game: South 13 North 00 (Div 4-7)
May 1, 2022 | David Burnworth
In the small school game, the name of the game was defense and turnovers. For the south Daniel Wagner from Africentic High School and a Toledo commit had two interceptions, while Brae Friesner from Berne Union had one pick. Josh Clark, from Wheelersburg, who is going to Ohio University, had two picks. Clark is always […]
Ohio All Star game: North 39 South 18 (Div1-3)
May 1, 2022 | David Burnworth
At one time, this was one of the biggest and best all-star games, not only in Ohio but the nation. Nowadays, like most all-star games, the so-called “bigger-name” players elect not to play, afraid that they could be hurt and miss getting their start at the next level. For those players brave and dedicated enough […]

April 26, 2022 | David Burnworth
I believe this is year number two for you at Vinton County. Last season you guys went 6-4 losing badly just once to Byesville Meadowbrook. What will you guys need to do to improve on that mark? First, I’d like to thank you for this opportunity to speak with you about our program! Last […]

April 22, 2022 | David Burnworth
Coach Harper is a first-class guy and a great coach. I hope you all enjoy this interview Last year you guys finished 7-3 and fell a little short of making it back to the state finals. What will it take to be better than last season and to get back to the finals? I […]
2022 with Daniel Barker: Head Coach West Carter High School (Ky)
April 21, 2022 | David Burnworth
Coach Barker has always treated me very well. I hope you all enjoy this interview. West Carter has put together back-to-back very good seasons.

January 19, 2022 | Phil Myers
My wife and I were on vacation at Disney World and on the way home, by chance stopped in Valdosta, Georgia late on a Friday afternoon. After checking into our hotel, I asked the clerk two questions. Where was a good place to get supper and was Valdosta High School playing at home that particular […]

Ritchie County Rebels 42 Williamstown Yellowjackets 21@Ritchie_Rebels @WHSFootball2020 @YellinJackets @wvssac
December 5, 2021 | David Burnworth
The Rebels and Yellowjackets both left everything on the field in this one with both teams coming up with some of the hardest jits I have seen all year long. The biggest difference in this one was Gus Morrison, who had a monster game. He rushed for 178 yards and four touchdowns and caught five […]
Hudson Clement scores 8 touchdowns in Martinsburg 62-21 Win over Huntington @hhs_highlanders @MburgFootball @hudsonclement3
December 5, 2021 | David Burnworth
My first high school football game was back in 1976 and though I have seen many things in all of the games I have attended until yesterday I had never seen one player score eight touchdowns in a single game. Well, Hudson Clement changed all that and did so in an amazing way. The senior […]
Special teams and defense leads Fairmont Senior to the 21-12 win over Independence @IndyPatriots @LoopParkLoonies @jacedalton865
December 4, 2021 | David Burnworth
Last night Fairmont Senior showed just how important the little things are in their nine-point win over a hard-nosed Independence Patriots team. The difference was the ability the Polar Bears had in kicking point after attempts with Trey Longwell connecting on all three kicks, while Atticus Goodson missed his only attempt forcing the Patriots to […]
Andrean 21, Evansville Mater Dei 9 @FootballAndrean @MaterDeisports @IHSAA1
November 30, 2021 | David Burnworth
This was a defensive battle for the entire first half as neither team was able to put up any points. This really was not a big surprise being Andrean had allowed only 13.8 points a game heading into this one, while Mater Dei had given up just 14.4 points per game. Tyler Martin the tackling […]

Brady Allen(Gibson Southern) and Nolan Buckman (Brebeuf Jesuit) combined for nine touchdown passes and a total of 717 passing yards. Allen threw for five touchdowns and 398 yards, while Buckman threw for four touchdowns and 319 yards. On the other side of the coin, the two quarterbacks combined for seven picks.

Indianapolis Lutheran 34 Adams Central 28 @IHSAA1 @PaFootballNews @LutheranSaints @ACJetsAthletics
November 28, 2021 | David Burnworth
Early in this one, it was mostly Adams central as they twice led by fourteen points but Lutheran would regroup at the half and come back out and show the large crowd why they were undefeated on the season as they slowly battled tying things up after three-quarters of play. The winning score came with […]
West Sioux 24 Dike-New Hartford 21 Double Overtime @WestSiouxFB @DNHSUPT @DNHFootball @IHSAA
November 25, 2021 | David Burnworth
Adversity can make a person or break a person added to the pressure of leading a football team in a semi-final game against an opponent who only knows how to win many high school players would wilt. On a Friday night in the Uni-Dome in Cedar Rapids, Iowa Dylan Wiggins showed everyone in attendance […]
Van Meter 28 Dyersville Beckman 7 @BeckmanCatholic @VanMeterDawgs @VMFootball_@IHSAA
November 23, 2021 | David Burnworth
This was one of those games that never left any doubt about who the better team was, that being powerful Van Meter. What the score won’t tell you is what a never quit keep your head up attitude Beckman showed in the loss. Both teams from my eyes seemed to play clean, hard and show […]
Newark Catholic 42 Caldwell 7 @school_caldwell @NewarkCatholic @Buckeyedrew33 @ChrisHelms9 @mddcab @colecanter5 @CoachBaney
November 7, 2021 | David Burnworth
Saturday night took me back to White Field in Newark, Ohio to watch the home team Newark Catholic battle the invading Caldwell Redskins. They last met way back in 2005, in the playoffs where the Redskins were the host. The Green Wave easily won that game 37-6. I remember the crowd was big, much […]
Heath Bulldogs bark loud in blowout win over the Indian Valley Braves @inter_valley @HEATHHSFOOTBALL @NewarkAdvocate
November 6, 2021 | David Burnworth
Last night after having my plans changed through a series of events I found my way to Heath High School to cover the Bulldogs home playoff game against the Indian Valley Braves. This was one of those rare games where the visiting crowd was much larger than the home crowd. The Bulldogs completed their […]
Bellaire uses just enough passing to defeat Crestview 27-20 @BellaireSD @CrestviewRebels @TheTimesLeader
October 31, 2021 | David Burnworth
Yesterday I made another drive to Bellaire, Ohio to watch the Big Reds of Bellaire battle Columbiana Crestview in a first-round playoff game. This marked my first time seeing Crestview play and I have to say they were a well-prepared hard-hitting team that was fun to watch. Anthony Cusich would hit Jack Yerkey for a […]
Big first half eases Newark Catholic to a 34-16 playoff win over Danville @NewarkCatholic @mountvernonnews@SchoolsDanville @Buckeyedrew33
October 31, 2021 | David Burnworth
Saturday night I rushed home from my day game to change cameras then headed to White Field in Newark to watch the Newark Catholic Greenwave battle the Danville Blue Devils. Way back in 2012, these two hooked up in one of the best high school playoff games I have been to. The Greenwave outlasted the […]
Hollidaysburg Wins Third Straight by Defeating Linsly, West Virginia @HollidaysburgF @CoachHDeLattre @LinslyFootball
October 30, 2021 | Phil Myers
Joe Paterno used to emphasize that his defenses used the ‘bend but don’t break’ philosophy. The saying actually comes from Aesop’s fables, but that same wisdom also comes from ancient writings. Hollidaysburg’s coach, Homer DeLattre adheres to that philosophy too, “that’s what we talk about, we bend but we don’t break.” Many a football game […]
Massillon’s McElroy & Lenix Jr. Lead The Tigers To Their Sixth Consecutive Victory Over McKinley #BeyondTheKeystone
October 24, 2021 | John Robbins
The pomp and circumstance of a Massillon-McKinley game was on full display in the 132nd meeting between the two archrivals. The Massillon Tigers scored 28 unanswered points in the second half to beat their archrival McKinley Bulldogs, 35-13. To start the game, the Bulldogs started off firing on all cylinders.. They caused the Tigers […]
Colonel Crawford Eagles fly to the 45-13 win over the Seneca East Tigers @colonelcrawford @SenecaEast @crawfordnow
October 24, 2021 | David Burnworth
Friday night I made my way to Colonel Crawford high school for the first time also making this my first ever Northern 10 Atletic Conference game. I did see Buckeye Central play a very long time ago in the playoffs back when they beat Newark Catholic. Before getting into this game I wanted to say […]
Brookville downs Franklin 21-7
October 22, 2021 | David Burnworth
Last night I made another trip to Brookville, Ohio to watch the Blue Devils host the Franklin Wildcats. Brookville came in with an 8-1 record while the Wildcats limped in on the three-game losing streak supporting a three-game losing streak. Wind and defense was the name of the game in this one. Allen Dunn was […]
