Player makes the most of first start

Lincoln (Coucil Bluffs, Iowa) sophomore running back Austin Ebertowski made his first start Friday and came just four yards short of the state record for most yards in a game. Ebertowski rushed 41 times for 451 yards and three TDs in his team's 56-42 defeat of West (Sioux City). The record of 455 was set by Don Larson of Alden in 1954.
Another big game was turned in by Coleville, Calif., quarterback Jason Peters, who led his team to a 54-18 defeat of Wells, Nev. Peters ran for 336 yards and four touchdowns and passed for 244 yards and four touchdowns.

Independence - Madison Game Cancelled Due To Weather Concerns

Charlotte's Independence High's road football game against Florida power Madison County on Friday has been cancelled because of potential bad weather from Tropical Storm Hanna.

Patriots coach Tom Knotts said he was told by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools officials that they didn't want Independence traveling in unstable conditions. Madison County is about 45 miles east of Tallahassee. The Cowboys are Florida's reigning 2A champion.

It would have been the second straight season with an out-of-state trip for Independence, which won seven straight N.C. championships before losing in last season's N.C. 4AA final. The Patriots' 109-game winning streak was snapped by Elder (Ohio) High in Cincinnati last September.

What every college coach wants you to know!

Are you ready for some football? Well the season has started in most parts of the country and fans and players alike are amped up! I start my week thinking about those Friday night lights and the electrifying excitement on the gridiron . I’m especially excited to watch the talented players that show a real passion for the game and desire to play at the college level. If this is sound like you or your son take note. There is a tremendous amount of preparation before a game. Especially so for important games. There are practices, weight training and conditioning, film review & position meetings.

If you are serious about playing at the college level, you need to prepare just as hard in the class room. The schedules for the SAT & ACT for 2008 are now available. If you are a junior you should began to take them now! If you are a senior hopefully at this point you have done this and scored reasonably well. If not, RUN & Sign up and do not pass go! If a college coach is considering you, you stand a much better chance at getting an offer if he knows that you have NCAA qualifying test scores and a good CORE GPA.

Keep in mind that some schools have their own admission requirements that may exceed NCAA minimums. By taking care of this early on, you stand a much better chance at getting a coach to pull the trigger and offer a scholarship. Please see the schedule of upcoming test dates and get busy: http://www.prepnow.org/prepsatframe.htm
