From staff reports
Walsh Jesuit's defense has attracted much attention this season, but fullback Mark Wooldridge's performance Friday in the Warriors' 42-18 win over previously unbeaten Padua will be remembered for a while.
Wooldridge amassed 401 yards on 29 carries and scored three touchdowns in Walsh's nonleague home game featuring two teams ranked in The Plain Dealer's Top 25 poll. Wooldridge's rushing figure could have been much higher, as he gained 322 yards in the second half.
The senior's TD runs were for 90, 52 and 3 yards.
According to unofficial records kept by the Ohio High School Athletic Association, Wooldridge's performance ranks 24th on the all-time single-game rushing chart.
Eighth-ranked Walsh's defense dominated, limiting the No. 15Bruins (4-1) to three points in the first half and forcing two turnovers.
The Warriors (4-1) entered the game allowing a little more than 13 points per game.
No. 4 Glenville 38, Collinwood 0
The Tarblooders forced five turnovers as they rolled to 2-0 in the Senate Athletic League.
Glenville (4-1 overall) intercepted three passes and recovered two fumbles. Offensively, quarterback Jermale Hines, who also stars as a linebacker, threw two touchdown passes in going 3-for-8 for 71 yards and ran in another score.
Collinwood is 1-4, 1-1.
