High Schooler Gary Simpson Arrested for Punching Coach During Game

Oftentimes in the wonderful, yet violent, world of football, we see tempers flaring on the field. Unsportsmanlike conduct and unnecessary roughness penalties are a part of the game at all levels. What do you expect from a sport that is based around …

High Schooler Austin Pacheco Hits 64-Yard Field Goal (Video)

If a high school football player hits a 64-yard field goal that could have easily gone 70, is he destined for the NFL? I’m aware that accuracy is more important in the long run, but if I’m an NFL organization I’m taking a chance on …

A Mother’s Facebook Post Costs Tennessee High School Team Three Wins

Allow me to preface this post by saying I feel badly for the two high schoolers involved. I really do. Sure, they were doing something they should not have been, but when you are a minor, certain things are out of your control. You just have to go …

High School Coach Jason Bresnan Allegedly Put Bounty on Opposing Player

The more we hear about coaches and organizations paying players, the more desensitized we become.  Over the past few years we have come to the conclusion that paying college athletes is extremely common practice.  Whether it’s paying a player …

Arkansas High School Senior Darrick Strzelecki Practices with Snake In Helmet

Notre Dame and Hamilton Chandler to Play High School Football Game in Ireland

High Schooler Marky Thompkins Hurdles an Upright Defender (Video)

It appears we’re in the midst of a freak athleticism epidemic across the nation, particularly with regard to football players hurdling defenders.  Looks like the hurdle is starting to become as common as the spin move.  A little over a week ago …

California Has Most Players in NFL, Louisiana Most Per Capita

I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love a fun, territorial argument when it comes to sports. Being from LA, I will defend the Pac-10 til death, argue that Southern California has the best baseball, and claim there is an East Coast bias …

Forward Progress Anyone?

Sports trivia:  what’s the difference between the following video of a high school football player running the wrong way and throwing the ball behind him and the play where DeSean Jackson flipped the ball up in the air before he crossed the …

High School Rivals to Play Out Rest of 1993 Game that Ended in Tie

My buddy Robert DoBucki shared this story with me and I was just stunned when I read it. This is just like the worst thing that could ever happen to someone who’s still trying to live out their high school dreams. Take me for example — …

Great Story: Terry Bowden and Bobby Bowden Fought Over Recruits

I’m a big sucker for great anecdotes, and this would not be an exception. Joining Roc and Manuch on Sporting News Radio Sunday was former Auburn head coach and current college football analyst, Terry Bowden. Terry was breaking down the …

Texas and Florida Now Testing High Schoolers for Steroids

Unless you hail from this area, you probably wouldn’t think steroids usage in high school athletics existed. What would athletes between the ages of 15-18 possibly need to stick needles in their butts for, right? Especially if you consider …

High School Creates Football Skyboxes

I just can’t even muster up the words to describe how I feel about this news. Maybe it’s because high school football wasn’t a second religion in my town, or maybe it’s because life for most kids begins in college. I …
