Carlos Snow in a playoff game against Fostoria. He had three runs in excess of 60 yards. Never saw a HS kid use a scissors kick before that day to get out of a tackle. He was simply amazing that night.

Mo Clarrett his senior year put up 312 yards and 5 TDs on 13 carries in the first half of a play off game against #4 in the state Lakewood St Edward his senior year. I called all my Buckeye friends to tell them about this kid who was going to start as a frosh. As Paul Harvey would say...........

I haven't seen very many games in person. But I've seen a video of Sirjo Welch. The name of team we were facing is drawing a blank, but he had 4 INTs.

Some big time City League performances...

Theo Chapman(RB, Beechcroft 2004) vs. East 5 rushes for 225 yards and 4 TDs. He tripped on the one rush he didn't score.

Erik Haw(RB, Independence 2003) vs. Africentric 4 rushes for 250 yards and 4 TDs.

I have some more that I can't think of the full details.

Maurice Hall(RB, Brookhaven 2000) vs. Briggs

Over 400 yards rushing and 8 TDs. 2 TDs were called back. If it wasn't for that, he would've shattered the state record for rushing TDs and possibly the rushing yards record. The two that were called back were already after his first 8.

I was not at this game. But I saw tape of it. Our coaches had a copy and were playing it. He was a man playing with children.

According to this post by osugrad21...

He had 401 yard rushing.

The previous week, Clarett had rushed for 401 yards and five touchdowns against Lakewood St. Edward, the state's fourth-ranked team.

I saw Ted Ginn play once at Massillon Perry. He lit them up. Had several dazzling runs throughout the game. Nobody could touch him.

This one's harder to quantify, but I saw Alex Boone play last year against Warren Harding. For most of the game, they simply refused to put a DL across from him. When they did, he manhandled his guy. When they didn't, he was free to roam up to the second level.

I think Springfield North. This was his senior year, and he was hurt for some of the season. It's the Centerville record for tackles in a game. He also has the record for tackles in a season (192) which was in his junior year, and career tackles (583) while playing at Centerville.

I was at that game (I was in the marching band at WGH) and it was crazy. WGH really blew that game open. That was by far the best performance that I've ever seen in HS. Here are the best performances that I've seen, starting with #2. FWIW, I've seen games where players may have had better stats, like Clarett's 6 carries for 225 yards & 6 TD (4 rushing, 1 punt return, & kickoff return) against Cleveland South in 2001, but these performances came in big games against solid and even great teams.

#2. Mario Manningham vs. Glenville (2004)- He broke the game open on the third play, scoring from 66 yards out. Finished with 7 catches for 257 & 3 TDs. He also returned an INT 50 yards for the game winning score with a minute left.

#3. Mario Manningham vs. Massillon Washington (2002)- This is the game that started it all for MM. Seeing his first legitimate PT of his HS career in week 9 of 2002 in the USA Today Game of the Week, Manningham scored 4 TDs (2 receiving, 1 punt return, 1 kickoff return) to lead WGH past Massillon Washington 31-27. His two touchdown catches came in the game's final 7 minutes.

#4. Tyrell Sutton vs. WGH (2004)- WGH won this game on the road 49-35, but afterward I was convinced that I saw one of the best players in HS history. I heard a lot about Sutton leading up to the game. including details about his 505 yard & 8 TD performance against Youngstown Ursuline earlier that year, but I had never seen him play before that day. 404 yards & 4 TDs later, I was convinced that he was the best HS player in Ohio in 2004.

#5. Mike Doss vs. WGH (1998)- I don't remember his official stats from this game, but I remember leaving Fawcett Stadium very unhappy because of Mike Doss. With Canton McKinley trailing 16-7 late in the game, Doss put his team on his back and led them to a 20-16 victory over WGH. He was Mr. Everything that day, scoring TDs on the ground and on special teams against one of the toughest WGH teams in recent memory.
