Mr. Football Watch
Friday, October 08, 2004
Each Friday, we will take a look around the state at some of the top candidates for the 2004 Mr. Football Award. Who should be Ohio's Mr. Football? Cast your vote at www.cleveland.com/hssports.
Alex Boone, St. Edward, 6-8, 320 pounds, Sr., OL:
Boone continues to show the way for one of the most balanced offenses in the state. The highly respected McCallister Scouting Report has him rated as the No. 1 senior offensive lineman in Ohio, emphasizing his "tough, competitive attitude, long arms and excellent feet." An Ohio State recruit, Boone has run a 5.2 40-yard dash and a 4.8 pro shuttle.
Rob Schoenhoft, Cincinnati St. Xavier, 6-6, 230, Sr., QB:
Another Ohio State recruit, Schoenhoft also is rated No. 1 at his position in the McCallister Report. His clutch 16-yard completion set up the winning touchdown as the Bombers defeated defending Division I state champion Cincinnati Elder, 33-30, in double overtime last weekend. St. X snapped the Panthers' 20-game winning streak in the Elder "Pit." The McCallister report describes Schoenhoft as a "drop-back gunslinger with a cannon for an arm."
Mister Simpson, Cincinnati Colerain, 5-11, 210, Sr., FB:
After overcoming a couple of nagging injures, this University of Michigan recruit got back in the flow by rushing for 128 yards and three touchdowns in the Cardinals' 55-7 victory over Middletown. He is rated second to Dayton Chaminade-Julienne's Javon Ringer on the McCallister running backs list.
Javon Ringer, Chaminade-Julienne, 5-10, 195, Sr., TB:
All Ringer did last weekend was rush for 372 yards and five touchdowns in a 42-13 victory over Cincinnati Purcell Marian. He again put his strength, quick feet and excellent vision on display.
Tyrell Sutton, Archbishop Hoban, 5-10, 194, Sr., TB/DB:
Sutton and the Knights found the going tough in a 31-7 loss to Columbus Bishop Watterson. When you have been as consistent as this Northwestern recruit has been (33 consecutive games with at least 100 yards rushing), "holding" him to 129 yards on 22 carries is considered an accomplishment. Tyrell the touchdown maker is No. 5 on McCallister's list.
