The McDonald’s All American Hometown Heroes presented by American Family Insurance made its final stop Monday, honoring forward Jayson Tatum at Chaminade College Prep in St. Louis.

Tatum, who signed with Duke in the fall, is ranked as the No. 2 overall player in the Class of 2017 by ESPN.com. He is averaging more than 28 points a game for the Red Devils, who begin district play Thursday in Missouri.

Tatum expressed appreciation for the chance to follow other legendary McDonald’s All Americans such as Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, LeBron James and many others.

“It means the world to me to be in the same sentence and conversation with  those guys and put the same jersey on as they did along with the other great players in their position,” he said.  “It’s a dream come true and I’m just excited and can’t wait for the opportunity.”

The McDonald’s All American Game is March 30 in Chicago.

Chris Lykes is ranked as the No. 1 player in Washington, D.C., in the Class of 2017 by the 247Sports Composite

He has offers from Georgetown, Maryland and Miami (Fla.) among others.

Yes, the Gonzaga College High point guard is 5-7. No, that doesn’t stop him from showing off his athleticism.

Lykes was named the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference Player of the Year last week.

Check out this clip that he posted on Twitter:

As pointed out by our friends at For The Win, Burrillville High School in Harrisville, R.I., thought it won a state title — and then it didn’t actually win the title.

The Broncos led by a point and stole the inbounds pass. That should have done it, but the Burrillville player tossed the ball backward into the air in an effort to run out the clock. The team stormed the court after the buzzer sounded, but there was still time left.

Officials ruled Chariho (Wood River Junction) had possession and the coach had immediately called timeout with a second left. That led to Jake Beauregard’s inbounds alley-oop pass to Tom Longolucco for a 60-59 victory and the Division III title.

LA VERGNE, Tenn. — UConn-bound Crystal Dangerfield played her last game for Blackman (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) on Monday night, closing out one of the most storied careers in Tennessee high school basketball.

Blackman’s quest for a third consecutive Class AAA state championship ended at the hands of Riverdale in a Region 4-AAA semifinal 73-66. Blackman, which finished 27-4 and entered the week at No. 13 in the Super 25, had beaten Riverdale seven consecutive times over the past three seasons.

Dangerfield, ranked as the No. 1 point guard in the Class of 2016 and an American Family Insurance ALL-USA Preseason selection, finished with 20 points.

“It’s tough because personally we haven’t stopped this short in the four years that I’ve been here,” Dangerfield said of the loss. “But out of the last four years this has probably been the best year as far as character and the team working so hard.”

Blackman is a two-time Gatorade state player of the year and could win a third, was named the state’s Miss Basketball last season and could win that honor again as well. She also won a gold medal for Team USA last summer.

Steve Spurrier, the Heisman Trophy winning quarterback and successful college coach, and Marlin Briscoe, the first African-American starting quarterback in the NFL who won two Super Bowls, will be honored for their high school successes as part of the 2016 class of the National High School Hall of Fame administered by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS).

Spurrier was a three-sport star at Science Hill High in Johnson City, Tenn. Briscoe played football and basketball at Omaha South High in Nebraska.

Five athletes, four coaches, two administrators and one contest official will be inducted on July 2 at the Peppermill Resort in Reno, Nev., during the HFHS annual summer meeting.

Here are the 12 inductees with a brief synopsis of their accomplishments as provided by the NFHS:

ATHLETES

• Joni Huntley: Three-sport athlete at Sheridan (Ore.) High in the early 1970s who competed in the high jump at two Olympic Games. She was a three-time state high jump champion and became the first American woman to clear 6 feet in the event as a senior in 1974. Huntley set national records in the high jump and 100-yard hurdles on the same day at a 1974 meet, and won state titles in the high jump, hurdles and 100-yard dash. She placed fifth in the high jump at the 1976 Olympics and won the bronze medal at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.
• Tom Southall: One of the greatest athletes in Colorado prep history, he was born without a right hand and wrist but excelled in football, basketball, track and music at Steamboat Springs High. He was a two-time state football player of the year and led his team to the 1979 Class 2A state title.In track and field, he set the state’s 2A long jump record in 1981 with a 23-4½ effort and helped Steamboat Springs to three consecutive Class 2A state titles.
• Ken Beardslee:  In his three years on the mound for Vermontville (Mich.) in the late 1940s, Beardslee won 24 of his 25 starts (the team was 31-1 during that time). His 24 victories included eight no-hitters, including two perfect games, and seven one-hitters and a 0.32 career earned-run average. He set seven national records, and two of those marks still stand: per-game season strikeout mark of 19.0 and his per-game career strikeout mark of 18.1.
• Steve Spurrier: One of the best multi-sport athletes in Tenneessee history, Spurrier starred in football, basketball and baseball from 1960-63. In one school year, he passed for 16 touchdowns in football, averaged 22 points per game in basketball and was 7-0 as a pitcher in helping Science Hill to the state baseball championship – and was named all-state in all three sports and All-American in football. As a pitcher, he had a perfect 25-0 career record and was a part of two state championship teams.
• Marlin Briscoe: He was an All-City running back in football as a junior and senior at Omaha South in 1962 and 1963. Briscoe also played quarterback at times and led South to the Intercity Football Championship during his senior season, and then directed the South team to a victory in the Football Shrine game. Two weeks later, he was named MVP of Omaha’s All-City Basketball Classic.

COACHES

• Pete Boudreaux: He has been coaching cross country and track and field at Catholic in Baton Rouge, La., for 48 years and is still going at the age of 74. He has led his teams to 16 state cross country championships, 12 state indoor track titles and 15 state outdoor track championships – an amazing grand total of 43. In addition, his teams have finished second 21 times in the three combined sports.
• Jack Holloway: He was one of the top high school wrestling coaches in the country during his 25 years at William Penn in New Castle, Del. (1978-2002). Holloway’s coaching mark was 297-35 (.894 percentage), which included 13 undefeated seasons, and he led his teams to seven state championships. He coached 39 individual state champions and was named National High School Wrestling Coach of the Year in 2000.
• Peg Kopec: She was named the American Family Insurance ALL-USA Volleyball Coach of the Year in her final season at St. Francis (Wheaton, Ill.) after winning a state title. During her 42 years as St. Francis coach, Kopec led her teams to 12 IHSA state titles, including four in a row to conclude her career – the first in state history to accomplish that feat. Kopec registered 30 or more victories in 30 seasons and eclipsed 40 wins on three occasions and finished with an overall record of 1,248-260-2 (.827 winning percentage).
• Chuck Kyle:  He has led his alma mater – St. Ignatius in Cleveland – to 11 Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) state football championships – all in the state’s largest division. After serving as an assistant coach for 10 years, Kyle assumed head coaching duties in 1983 and has registered a 321-83-1 record (.794 winning percentage) in 33 years. He ranks No. 1 in state football titles and set a state record by qualifying for the playoffs in 22 consecutive years (1988-2009). Kyle’s teams were undefeated on five occasions.

OFFICIAL

• Eugene “Lefty” Wright:  Wright was meet director of the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) cross country championship for 46 years and was the lead official at the MSHSL state track and field meet for 22 years. He was the MSHSL rules clinician for track and field and cross country for 46 years and developed a procedure to minimize disqualifications by creating a form that was adopted in official NFHS rules. He died last year at age 79.

ADMINISTRATORS

• Tim Flannery: After concluding his 30-year career in Ohio with 15 years as director of athletics of the North Olmsted City Schools, Flannery joined the NFHS staff in 1998. During his first nine years on the staff, Flannery directed the NFHS Coaches Association, was editor of the Soccer Rules Book and Swimming and Diving Rules Book, and was in charge of the NFHS Officials Association for two years. Flannery also was heavily involved in the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (NIAAA) for 30 years.
• Ennis Proctor: He concluded his 20 years as executive director of the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) – and 47 years overall in education – in 2011. During his tenure, the MHSAA added 15 sports, including many new opportunities for female athletes, and enacted reforms that judged individuals on their own without regard to race or gender. Proctor left the MSHAA in 2011 with a $2 million reserve after inheriting an organization with just $100,000.

The recruiting rivalry between Ohio State and Michigan is as intense as the one on the field.

Tuesday, the Buckeyes almost literally went into The Big House, getting a commitment from 2017 athlete Antjuan Simmons. He attends Pioneer High School in Ann Arbor, which is almost across the street from Michigan Stadium. The school’s street address is West Stadium Boulevard.

Simmons is 6-1, 205 and plays multiple positions. Rivals has him ranked as the No. 11 player in Michigan and No. 27 outside linebacker overall in the Class of 2017. Others have him rated as a running back.

He had 40 offers, including virtually every school in the Midwest.

Simmons becomes the 12th commitment for Ohio State, which is leading the nation in 2017 commits.

Sierra Canyon (Chatsworth, Calif.) has moved up to No. 5 in the Super 25 Computer rankings for boys basketball in advance of its postseason meeting with No. 2 Chino Hills.

Sierra Canyon downed Bishop Montgomery (Torrance), which was No. 6 according to the computer last week, 78-69 in the CIF Southern Section Open Division semifinals.

Sierra Canyon had been No. 9. Now, it faces No. 2 Chino Hills – which is No. 1 in the Expert rankings – on Saturday in Anaheim. Chino Hills remains No. 2 despite a 102-54 drubbing of then-No. 9 Mater Dei (Santa Ana). The Monarchs dropped to No. 17.

Oak Hill Academy (Mouth of Wilson, Va.) remains No. 1, followed by Chino Hills, Montverde (Fla.) Academy, Atascocita (Humble, Texas) and Sierra Canyon.

Apple Valley (Minn.) drops a spot to No. 6, followed by Findlay Prep (Henderson, Nev.), St. Anthony (Jersey City, N.J.) and Bishop Montgomery. St. John’s College (Washington, D.C.) joins the Top 10 at No. 10.

All-American Terrance Ferguson, who was set to be the crown jewel of Avery Johnson’s recruiting class at Alabama, has backed off his commitment, his coach told Scout.com.

Ferguson, a five-star 6-6 guard at Advanced Prep (Dallas) committed to Alabama in mid-August and took an unofficial visit to campus last weekend. Ferguson is ranked as the No. 13 player in the Class of 2016 by Scout.com.

“He’s opening  back up his recruitment just based off of him losing his grandmother a month ago,” API coach Ray Forsett told Scout. “He wants to make the right decision. He’s very much still interested in going to Alabama, but he wants to pray about it and make sure he’s making the right decision.”

Forsett denied that academics played a role in the decision and said Ferguson was in good academic standing.

Athlete Institute (Orange, Ontario) made Canadian basketball history by capturing the inaugural Ontario Scholastic Basketball Association prep title by sweeping Orangeville Prep 2-0 in the best-of-three series.

Seven-footer Thon Maker had 27 points, 13 rebounds, seven blocks and three steals in the decisive game and was named OSBA Most Valuable Player.

Perhaps more amazing is that Maker had 18 of those 27 in the second quarter.

Maker remains among the most coveted uncommitted players in the Class of 2016. He is down to Kansas, St. John’s, Arizona State, Indiana, Notre Dame and UNLV.

Maker is scheduled to make an official visit to Kansas this weekend. He also has received a visit from St. John’s assistant Barry “Slice” Rohrssen on Tuesday after he watched the title game online, according to ZagsBlog.

March is Girls Sports Month. USA TODAY High School Sports will provide a series of pieces in which female athletes from high school to the pros and their mentors and coaches share their views on topics such as leadership, mentoring, perseverance and the important role athletics has played in their lives.  Today’s installment is with UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm.

“The Preacher’s Daughter,” Holm (10-0) fights Meisha Tate (17-5-1) on Saturday at UFC 196 in Las Vegas. The fight co-headlines the main pay-per-view card. It is Holm’s first bout since her surprise defeat of Ronda Rousey in December in Melbourne, Australia. 

Holm spoke with Mike Bohn from our friends at MMAJunkie.com after a training session in her hometown of Albuqueque, N.M.

Answer: “My parents raised me with sports. I think they saw how important it was not just to do academically well but physically. Be good to your body – and I think they go together. I think if you’re out being active you’re getting your blood flowing, your brain working, and they always encouraged us to do that. They never forced us to do anything we didn’t want to do, like ‘You will play soccer,’ it was what we wanted to do. They let us have our own passions and encouraged us to be in any sport we wanted to be in.”

RELATED: Holly Holm excelled at soccer in high school 

“I started fighting in high school, and I just would train year-round, and I still wasn’t getting sick of it. Like soccer season, by the end, I was ready for the season to be over with. I love the games, but I was kind of over practice. And for some reason I still wanted to come into the gym all the time for this, so I thought, you know what? This might be my niche.

“So I decided to just stick with it, and when I had my first pro fight I just thought – I didn’t think I would fight professionally, I just did it because I loved it, and after my first pro fight I thought, you know, I’m going to keep doing this just to see how far I can go. I don’t even know if I’ll even fight for a title, or how far it’s going to take but I’m just going to take one fight at a time and see where it takes me.”

Question: How do you handle being a role model for young women and what advice would you give young female athletes — not specific to MMA — but about competing in general?

Answer: “I don’t ever look at myself as a role model, but what I hope that I do is inspire people to take a chance to follow their dreams. Believe in themselves that they can succeed in something. This isn’t the first time I’ve been the underdog going into a fight, and a lot of people say ‘This really inspires young girls,’ and I always say, ‘Well, I hope it inspires anybody.’

RELATED: Carli Lloyd shows how sports can mold an international role model

“To say, ‘Oh, it’s a vulnerable position – you might fail, you might be victorious. You don’t know. The unknown’s there.’ But I hope it inspires anybody to say ‘Look at that, she just believed in herself. The odds were just crazy against her and she still was able to do it. So why don’t I?’ In whatever they do, whether it be some kind of fitness goal or whether it be some kind of career with a company in an office, anything. Whatever it is. I hope what I do just inspires anybody.

“I don’t really see myself like ‘Oh, I’m a role model,’ but I hope I inspire people. I don’t want to be a letdown later on by doing something stupid, so I try to watch what I say and do a little bit, which I think all of us should be like that.”

Answer: “I feel like it’s getting bigger. I think that a lot of times that sports for men has been evolving longer than for women. So I feel like that’s why it’s behind, but I feel like it’s catching up. And my hope is that all of the sports will be at an equal level. I feel like tennis is there and MMA is there.

“But other than that, I feel like there needs to be more people wanting to support it. People follow women’s sports, but I feel like more people need to want to promote and take a chance on putting it on TV. They’ll see good results. One thing that women do bring to the table is passion. Just when you look at men and women, women are naturally more emotional people and I think that also comes out in our passion in our sports. So I think people see a whole different side of sports when they see women compete.”

Question: Many young girls are faced with body image issues, especially those who compete in sports with weight classes. Is the success of women in MMA who are in great physical shape and super athletic changing the perception of beauty?

Answer: “I think so. I think that you see a lot more athletic models out there, not just really slender, and there are a lot of  good toned athletes out there. Even if you’re not born with the 100-pound frame that some people have, but I think this (change) gives people motivation to say, ‘I’m going to be more fit. I’m going to be more toned with my body and what I have.’

“But every body’s different, and this world would be really boring if everybody looked exactly the same, so I think it’s just encouraging people to make their body fit. And I think that’s a good thing. I feel like it’s getting better as far as people getting into health things. There are more healthy restaurants and more healthy menus. There’s a lot of really unhealthy and very processed foods and chemicals, and I feel like it’s improving.It’s a good thing that it’s going in that direction because there’s still a lot that needs to be done.”

Thanks to a new rule for football scheduling, Pennsylvania teams can opt to play an additional game against any opponent instead of a second scrimmage.

That has paved the way for a proposed kickoff classic style event at North Alleghany in the Pittsburgh area, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Plans have not been locked in, but at least two games, and possibly four, could take place Aug. 26-27 with a number of teams from outside Western Pa.

The current plan calls for North Allegheny to face Malvern Prep from suburban Philadelphia on Aug. 26 and Pittsburgh Central Catholic to face St. John’s (Washington, D.C.) on Aug. 27. Another game or two could be added for Aug. 27.

Central Catholic went 15-1 last season and is the defending state AAAA champion. St. John’s is led by highly recruited Big Ten target Kasim Hall and quarterback and defensive end Tyree Johnson.

North Alleghany is coming off a 9-2 season and was the team that handed Central Catholic its lone loss. Malvern Prep also went 9-2 last year and opened its season with a 37-0 victory against St. Rita (Chicago) at Solider Field.

Five-star prospect Darnay Holmes from Calabasas (Calif.) is ranked as the No. 1 cornerback in the nation and the No. 2 player at any position in the state of California by the 247Sports Composite rankings.

Holmes could remain on the West Coast with UCLA and Stanford among his top options, but he also has interest in Nebraska, Alabama and Ohio State among others.

Holmes, who plans to announce on his birthday, June 23, spoke with USA TODAY Sports’ David Schmulenson during the Nike Opening regional event in Los Angeles over the weekend.

A showdown of unbeaten teams ranked in the Top 6 in the Super 25 Computer rankings for girls basketball is looming in the state of Washington.

No. 5 Lynnwood and No. 6 Bellevue could meet Friday in the 3A state semifinal in a matchup that has been anticipated all season. But, both teams have to get past their quarterfinal matchup opponents Thursday: Bellevue faces Mount Spokane and Lynnwood faces Prairie. The state 3A final is Saturday with Lynnwood attempting to repeat as state champion.

St. Mary’s (Stockton, Calif.) remained No. 1 followed by Duncanville (Texas), Miramonte (Orinda, Calif.) and Centennial (Las Vegas).

After Lynnwood and Bellevue, Paul VI (Fairfax, Va.) is No. 7, Neumann-Goretti (Philadelphia) is No. 8 with Riverdale Baptist (Upper Marlboro, Md.) and Archbishop Mitty (San Jose) rounds out the Top 10.

USA TODAY High School Sports is unveiling the American Family Insurance ALL-USA Preseason Softball Team for 2015-16. Players were selected based on high school performance, level of competition and strength of schedule.

The team has five pitchers, two catchers, six infielders, three outfielders and four utility players. There are also five honorable mention selections.

California boasts seven of the 25 selections, led by utility player Madilyn Nickles from Merced (Calif.) – the only prep player to make the 2015 Junior National Team. Other states with multiple selections include New Jersey, Alabama and Pennsylvania.

Note that more than a half-dozen states, including Georgia, Missouri and Oklahoma play high school softball in the fall. These players who’ve already finished their 2015-16 seasons won’t be recognized on this list, but will be included in the year-end ALL-USA Softball Team in June.

Here are the five girls:

• Natalie Chou, Plano West (Plano, Texas). The Baylor signee is averaging 24 points, seven rebounds and three assists.
• Lauren Cox, Flower Mound (Texas). The No. 1 recruit in the nation, the Baylor signee is averaging 20.3 points, 11 .7 rebounds and 3.3 blocks per game.
• Crystal Dangerfield, Blackman (Murfreesboro, Tenn.): The UConn-bound senior is ranked as the No. 1 point guard in the class and averaged 23.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists.
• Joyner Holmes, Cedar Hill (Texas). A Texas commit, she is averaging 24.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.
• Jackie Young, Princeton Community (Princeton, Ind.). The all-time leader scorer — boy or girl — in Indiana history, the Notre Dame-bound guard is averaging 37.8 and 9.5 rebounds per game.

At 6-5 and 330 pounds, Vista Murrieta (Calif.) junior Chuck Filiaga has the size to be an elite offensive tackle and has 19 offers, including much of the Pac-12.

Filiaga is ranked as No. 71 overall, the No. 14 offensive tackle and the No. 8 player in the state of California, according to the 247Sports Composite.

He was at USC’s Junior Day on Saturday and then took part in The Nike Opening regional in the Los Angeles area on Sunday.

Filiaga spoke with USA TODAY Sports’ David Schmulenson at The Opening.

When it comes to Purdue football, few have bigger names than Mike Alstott.

Alstott is the Boilermakers’ career leading rusher and was a three-time team MVP before becoming a six-time Pro Bowler with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Perhaps Purdue is hoping history repeats itself with the Alstott name.

Griffin Alstott, a quarterback who plays for his dad at Northside Christian in St. Petersburg, Fla., received a scholarship offer from Purdue, according to his Twitter feed.

Griffin is ranked as a three-star recruit and threw for 1,725 yards, 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions as a junior last fall.
