Tim

For live updates of the games I'm attending, follow me on Twitter @varsityblue. If you can help out finding articles on any of the commits, @reply me on Twitter or e-mail me, and I'll try to include your contribution. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to make it to any games last week because I was traveling to South Bend. Hopefully I can make that up this week.

FL QB Kevin Sousa

Last week: Lake Nona was killed by Oak Ridge, 0-48. Sousa struggled to a 6/13 passing day for just 34 yards, facing heavy pressure all day. He also ran for 31 yards on 7 attempts.

You can check out the highlights from Sousa's first game on Youtube.

This week: Lake Nona welcomes University on Friday at 7:30. Running back Jarius Pace will make his debut for the Lions, hopefully taking some of the heat of Sousa.

MI WR Shawn Conway

Last Week: Seaholm beat Lahser 35-17.

Junior quarterback John Glazier and senior wideout Shawn Conway, fast developing into one of the most lethal pass-and-catch combos in the state, hooked up for two scores through the air – making it a total of six on the year so far...

Conway, one his way to the University of Michigan next season, caught five balls for 98 yards. Both of his touchdown grabs came in the first half to rally his team back from an early deficit.

Yet another impressive performance from Shawn, even with sketchy quarterbacking. Video highlights from FridayNightHighlights.tv:

This week: The Maples host Detroit Country Day on Thursday night. Pregame fluff.

OH OL Jack Miller

Last week: St. John's pasted Sandusky, 34-7. I couldn't find a game article.

This week: St. John's takes on Toledo St. Francis DeSales Friday at 7.

FL OL Tony Posada

Last week: Plant beat Hillsborough 20-13. Game highlights:

This week: Plant travels to Abilene, Texas on Thursday. Pregame ranking wranglin'.

MI OL Jake Fisher

Last week: Traverse City West beat Essex 42-6, after leading 42-0 at the half. No mention of Fisher in the game article.

This week: TC West plays Cadillac on Friday at 7:30.

OH DE Chris Rock

Last week: Pregame fluff revealing the Stallions held their first two opponents to 95 yards each on the ground and through the air. St. Francis DeSales fell to New Albany in a 10-13 overtime decision. Article 2. DeSales' star junior, Ohio State commit Warren Ball, was injured in the game. No mention of Rock in any of the articles.

This week: DeSales hosts Youngstown Cardinal Mooney (who defeated them in the State Championship game last year) on Friday at 7:30.

MI DE/LB Brennen Beyer

Last week: Plymouth fell to Howell, 10-18. Beyer forced a fumble in the game, though the game article gives the impression that Howell was focusing on him on the other side of the ball, limiting him from being involved in the offense.

This week: Plymouth faces Wayne on Friday at 7pm.

TX LB Kellen Jones

Last week: Panther fluff. St. Pius X beat Episcopal 31-17. Jones told Tom he had 6 tackles (3 for loss) and a sack. He sat out the first half, because he twisted his ankle early in the game.

(A slight correction to last week's stats, as I didn't note Jones's 3 TFL against Sealy).

Totals 2-1 30 11 2 2

This week: St. Pius X hosts Worthing on Friday at 7:30.

OH CB/S Greg Brown

Last week: Ross was drilled by Tiffin Columbian, 40-21. No mention of Brown in the game article. A scouting report from the win over Toledo Whitmer a couple weeks back:

Greg Brown caught one pass for 42 yards and really wasn't too involved in the offense, as he also took one hand-off that was called back for a false start. Defensively, he was lined up at safety and occasionally at corner. Whitmer doesn't throw a lot, and when they did, they didn't throw at Greg. He was back to return kicks as well, and rather than risk a big play (are you sensing a pattern?) they usually chose to squib the ball about 25 yards to the opposite side of the field. Most of the teams that Ross will see this year will probably treat him the same way, which I guess is a compliment.

Thanks to Mason Lowry of WRSC Radio for the report.

This week: The Little Giants travel to Tiffin to face Columbian at 7:30 on Friday.

MI CB Delonte Hollowell

Last week: Cass Tech killed Detroit Denby 55-0. No mention of Hollowell.

Next Week: Cass Tech travels to Denby on Friday at 4pm.

I wonder what the transfer rules are down in Florida.   His team appears to be just terrible.  Maybe he is just a loyal kid.  He had to know going in that his team would suck.

Thanks for the updates as always Tim.  I'm a little worried about Sousa, I've watched the film and he is somewhat mobile but he needs a lot of improvement going foward.  Very excited about Conway and Kellen Jones. After a year with Barwis these guys will be monsters.  Very excited about how we finish this class out.
