There is a full slate of games involving Super 25 team this week, including some great national matchups. What should be the Super 25 Game of the Week?

After meeting with principals, athletic directors and coaches at South Bend Washington and Michigan City, the Indiana High School Athletic Association has placed both programs on probation for the remainder of the season, suspended six players for one game and suspended an assistant coach indefinitely for their role in a fight in last week’s game.

A brawl broke out during the second quarter of Friday night’s game that required police intervention to contain and led to the game being halted. The IHAA ruled the game will be considered a double forfeit.

The six players identified by each school — four for Michigan City and two from South Bend Washington — must sit out the next game and complete an online sportsmanship course from the National Federation.

A South Bend assistant coach, Keith Witherspoon was suspended by the school and the IHSAA is requiring him to take the “teaching and role modeling behavior” online course from the National Federation.

The probation means an official notice that serious violations have occurred will be issued and would come into play should another similar incident happen in the future.

In a statement, the IHSAA said it does not believe the game “reached the level of a brawl as some have suggested. It was a highly competitive game that got out of hand.”

“Sportsmanship is still a primary focus of the IHSAA,” IHSAA commissioner Bobby Cox said. “Incidents of this nature erode the interscholastic experience for everyone involved. I applaud both schools for proactively meeting at Michigan City High School the next day to discuss the incidents of the game and formulate future plans to eliminate undesirable behaviors.”

San Clemente High School (Calif.) team manager Jack West is still celebrating his first touchdown in a Triton uniform.

Donning the No. 31, West entered Friday’s scrimmage against El Toro at running back and busted a big run to the end zone that ended with a big celebration with his teammates.

“Jack is a senior team manager for us and is going on his 4th year of helping our program,” said San Clemente head coach Jaime Ortiz. “He is truly an inspiration for not just our players, but also our coaches. He is an icon on campus and we look forward to celebrating his senior year together.”

With football season upon us and the pads replacing the shorts and T-shirts of elite summer events, USA TODAY High School Sports has updated its composite football rankings for the Class of 2016.

The rankings reflect the average position for each player from the four major recruiting services: Top 247, ESPN Recruiting Nation, Rivals and Scout. Players needed to be ranked in the top 100 by at least one service to be included in the list.

If a player was not ranked by a particular service, he was given the maximum number of points. For example ,players not in the ESPN 300 or Scout 300 were given a 300; players not in the Rivals 250 or the Top 247 list of 205, were given a 250.

Rashan Gary, the defensive lineman from Paramus Catholic in New Jersey, remains No. 1. He is the top player in three of the four services and second in the other. Offensive tackle Greg Little from Allen remains No. 2. Dexter Lawrence from Wake Forest, N.C., moves up to No. 3 and defensive back Levonta Taylor from Ocean Lakes in Virginia remains at No. 5.

The big change is at No. 4 where IMG Academy quarterback Shea Patterson moves from No. 9 to No. 4 and becomes the top QB on the board. Jacob Eason (Lake Stevens, Wash.) slides from No. 3 to No. 6, largely because ESPN.com dropped him to No. 25.

Defensive line continues to be a hallmark of this class with nine of the top 15 playing on the defensive front.

Roselle Catholic won the New Jersey Tournament of Champions title in basketball behind the guard play of Kentucky-bound Isaiah Briscoe and South Carolina-bound Chris Silva.

But just because those players have departed, along with Monmouth-bound Pierre Sarr, Roselle Catholic isn’t planning to easily relinquish its spot atop the mountain in the Garden State.

According to reports from NJ.com and ZagsBlogs.com, Roselle added up another huge transfer Wednesday with the addition of  four-star guard Nate Pierre-Louis, ranked as the No. 2 prospect in the state by the 247 Sports Composite rankings and among the upper-echelon shooting guards in the nation.  Roselle coach Dave Boff said Pierre-Louis had moved within the school district so he should be eligible to play right away.

Pierre-Louis, who is being courted by a number of Big East programs and UConn among others, played last season at St. Benedict’s Prep in Newark.

Roselle is adding point guard Leondre Washington, who played in Teaneck last year, and small forward Andre Rufus, from Baltimore. Both are members of the Class of 2017. The Lions’ best player figures to be highly coveted 2018 star Naz Reid.

St. Benedict’s also could be in danger of losing Trevon Duval, among the top five players in the Class of 2017. He is considering his options for his final year of high school with a number of national programs interested. St. Benedict’s had added guard James Scott, who played at Pope John (Sparta Township, N.J.)

The season is here and Wilson is starting the season with a hype video.

The video will be played at high school stadiums across the country, on social media and elsewhere.

In the latest saga of “can you top this” by elite-level recruits, four-star receiver Ahmir Mitchell made his announcement using a small plane flown over the Atlantic City boardwalk with the words “Go Blue” trailing behind it.

The video, made with Bleacher Report, was released Thursday and represented Mitchell’s decision to select the Wolverines over Ohio State. He also had a ceremony at the same time the video was posted.

Mitchell, who plays for Cedar Creek in Egg City Harbor, N.J., is ranked as the No. 7 athlete and No. 90 overall by the 247 Sports Composite rankings. Rivals has him as the No. 19 wide receiver and No. 3 player in the state of New Jersey.

In collaboration with our partners at High School Football America, here is the first edition of the USA TODAY High School Sports’ Two Minute Drill podcast with Jeff Fisher, the founder and editor in chief of HSFBA.

In this edition, Jeff talks to Kenny Sanchez, coach of No. 4 Bishop Gorman as it begins its season this week against No. 20 Chandler and looks at the busy lineup of Super 25 action on ESPN as part of the GEICO ESPN High School Kickoff.

If the season opener is any indication, Midland (Texas) Trinity looks like it could be just fine on offense.

Trinity rolled to a 108-66 victory against Loraine on Thursday, the opening night for high school football in Texas.

According to the National Federation record book, the 108 points is four shy of the record set by Paint Rock, Texas, against Novice on Nov. 5, 2010. But the two teams combined for the most points in six-man history with 174. The previous record was set by Claremont and Frederick in South Dakota when Claremont won 94-49 on Sept. 28, 1951.

However, the Midland Reporter-Telegram says the record for two teams is 242 when San Antonio The Winston beat San Antonio Town East 122-120. Midland Trinity lost 124-108 to Fort Davis during the 2011 season, meaning Midland equaled its school record for points on Thursday. That game at the time was the highest-scoring game involving a UIL team, the recognized state association in Texas.

The National Federation record book includes records from games played by teams in the recognized state associations.

Trinity led 38-22 after the first quarter, 68-42 at halftime and 100-58 at the end of the third quarter. The game took nearly four hours to play.

Austin Bergner struck out nine and the United States’ 18U national team opened the WBSC U-18 Baseball World Cup in Japan with an 11-1 victory against the Czech Republic in a game shortened by the run rule.

Bergner from Windermere, Fla., allowed three hits and no walks in his six innings before Hunter Greene (Stevenson Ranch, Calif.) pitched a scoreless seventh with three groundouts. The U.S. scored enough runs in the bottom of the seventh to reach the 10-run differential.

“Austin Bergner pitched really well, obviously, and set the tone for the day by throwing strikes all game,” manager Glenn Cecchini said. “Offensively we did a good job of hitting balls on the ground and forced them to make some mistakes but once we got up early we didn’t put them away in the middle innings. We knocked them down but didn’t knock them out. That is something we need to get better at as we move forward in this tournament.”

The Americans scored five runs in the first inning, helped in part by three errors by the Czech Republic, added two in the second and another in the fifth for an 8-0 lead.

Michael Amditis from Boca Raton, Fla.) led the offensive charge with three run-scoring singles.

The U.S. next plays Saturday at 4:30 am ET against Japan.

When Darryl Dawkins decided to leave Maynard Evans High in Orlando and jump directly to the 1975 NBA draft, there was no pre-draft combine. No early entry deadline. No countless individual workouts and interviews.

“I didn’t make my decision until three days before the draft, and I just figured I wanted to be able to help my brother and sister get through college, and take care of my mother and grandmother, so I took that route,” Dawkins said in 2000, according to The Allentown Morning Call in Dawkins’ adopted hometown in Pennsylvania.

A year earlier, Moses Malone from Petersburg, Va., had joined the ABA’s Utah Stars from high school, but Dawkins would be the first to join the NBA. Bill Willoughby would be selected in the second round that same year by the Atlanta Hawks.

Dawkins, 58, died Thursday of a heart attack but will be remembered for his outlandish personalty, colorful dunks and being a pioneer for the preps to pros movement.

“I was so young then,” Dawkins said. “I didn’t care what happened. Players today get so excited about the draft. They can’t sleep. I think the I was out with my girlfriend that night, trying to do the wild thing.”

College might have helped Dawkins’ game, but the economic hardship of his family dictated the decision. Darryl and his two brothers were raised by a single mother and they would pick oranges to make extra money. His seven-year, $1 million contract would change the family’s outlook.

Dawkins faced immense expectations, ones that likely would have been impossible for anyone to live up to. Some suggested he would be next Wilt Chamberlain.

“I remember the first time I saw him at training camp,” Billy Cunningham, his former Sixers teammate and later his coach, told the Philadelphia Daily News on Thursday. “I was trying to come back from a torn Achilles’ and there is this kid from high school and I thought, ‘Are you kidding me?’ He was shooting jumpers. He was running faster than anyone else on the floor. He was jumping higher than anyone and he was stronger than anyone.”

Dawkins would be last player selected in the NBA draft from high school without enrolling at a college for 20 years. (Lloyd Daniels and Shawn Kemp never played college basketball but were enrolled.) The next influx of players included modern superstars Kevin Garnett in 1995, Kobe Bryant and Jermaine O’Neal in 1996 and Tracy McGrady in 1997, among others.

In all 43 players have made the jump, but the names like Garnett, Kobe, LeBron James and Dwight Howard are joined on that list by the likes of Martell Webster, Gerald Green and Korleone Young.

The rules established in the 2006 collective bargaining agreement remain largely in place today. Players must be at least 19 and have to to one year out of high school, the so-called “one-and-dones.” When Adam Silver became commissioner, he indicated that he wanted to push the age limit to 20 — the league had offered a similar plan in the previous negotiations — but the league and the players union will need to agree in the next collective bargaining agreement.

“I think the only reason you should go to college is to get a good education, so you can take care of your family, be financially stable,” Dawkins said in 2000. “But if you can go straight to the NBA, then you have to do it.”

Every Friday during this football season USA TODAY High School Sports and our friends at High School Cube will be featuring some of the top games in the country.

Rockhurst (Mo.) at No. 21 Webb City (Mo.), Aug. 28 (8 pm ET)

Adam Ward, one of two journalists slain in Virginia this week, loved shooting high school sports. He was a staple of WDBJ’s Friday Football Extra and was scheduled to shoot two high school games Friday night.

The hashtag #FFE is attached to a lot of tweets with score updates and more on Friday nights in the Roanoke area. On this Friday night, though, #FFE also included photos and tributes from around the region to Ward and WBDJ colleague Alison Parker.

Here are some of the powerful images:

Colquitt County coach Rush Probst told the Moultrie (Ga.) Observer this week that he wanted to see focus and intensity from his team after a disappointing week of practice.

Well, he sure seemed to get what he was looking for.

The Packers, No. 15 in the Super 25, rolled over Plant (Tampa) by a final of 42-8 and has outscored its first two opponents, 87-22.

The defending 6A state champion Packers have now won 17 consecutive games.

Colquitt County (2-0) was led by superstar quarterback Chase Parrish, who opened the scoring with a 53-yard run and threw TD passes of 45 to Ty Lee and 51 yards to Shaun Bonner before the first quarter ended. The 51-yarder was a throwback screen play to the tight end. A 43-yard TD pass from Parrish to Isaiah Thomas, a drive set up by a blocked punt, was all the scoring in the second quarter.

Parrish finished 11-for-12 passing for 200 yards, along with the three touchdowns.

Lee also ran for a touchdown in the second half.

Plant got on the board late in the fourth quarter after the score was already 42-0.

Colquitt County hosts Crisp County (Cordele, Ga.) next Friday; Plant returns to Florida and faces Hillsborough on Friday.

Allen football returned to its $60 million stadium for the first time since 2013 and kicked off its season with tons of pomp and circumstance.

Skydivers flew into the stadium, the last one carrying an American flag, as part of the pregame ceremony. The tailgaters were out in force for hours before the game. The crowd was large and raucous.

The eyes of the masses weren’t just on the stadium. Allen fans – and those around the nation – wanted to see how the Eagles would fare now that American Family Insurance ALL-USA Offensive Player of the Year Kyler Murray has taken his 42-0 record as a starter to Texas A&M.

The answer: Wow.

Mitchell Jonke, who was undefeated as Allen’s junior varsity quarterback last season, threw five touchdown passes and ran for another score, as the No. 12 Eagles downed Denton Guyer 48-16. The three-time state champions have now won 44 consecutive games.

Jonke finished 14 for 23 passing for 283 yards and added 10 carries for 38 yards on the ground. Only one of his TD passes was in the red zone: 36 yards to Lionell McConnel, 19 yards to Tenio Aveni, 49 to Camden Harrison, 43 to Malik Young and 36 to Tevyn Stevenson.

Jonke’s 9-yard run opened the scoring.

Guyer took a 10-17 lead early in the second quarter, but with the help of a fumble recovery on a punt, Allen scored a pair of touchdowns within two minutes late in the first half.

Seth Green, the Oregon commit and transfer from Minnesota, played one series in the first half and went three-and-out. He did throw a touchdown pass late in the game.

Beyond the offense, Allen’s front seven was impressive. The defense is where Allen had most of its returning players and Guyer was limited to 75 passing yards.

After dominating in its season opener in Tennessee, Clay-Chalkville returned to its home state of Alabama to similar results.

Clay Chalkville (Pinson), ranked No. 17 in the Super 25, downed Minor (Adamsville) 49-15 on Friday night.

Quarterback Ty Pigrome accounted for six touchdowns — four through the air and two on the ground for 40 and 1 yard.  In all, Pigrome finished with 312 yards passing and 80 rushing.

Two of those TD passes were to Alabama commit T.J. Simmons. His two scores covered 67 and 71 yards. Two more went to Nico Collins, one for 5 yards and the other for 23.

Quentin Davis, in his first game as the varsity starter following Josh Rosen’s departure to UCLA, threw for five touchdowns and ran for a score — in the first half — as No. 11 St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.) routed La Mirada 76-8.

In the first half, Davis posted 263 yards passing on 13 of 14 and then ran for 56 yards on five carries. He would finish the game with seven touchdowns total before his backup Real Mitchell entered the game.

La Mirada scored on its opening drive, capped by an 8-yard TD run, with three minutes elapsed — and never scored again. Bosco answered in less than a minute with Quentin Miller doing the work on a scoring drive.

Bosco (1-0) took the lead with two minutes left in the first quarter on a 98-yard scoring drive capped by Julian Wodard’s 30-yard reception.

Centennial (Corona, Calif.) easily handled its visitors from Utah, beating East 49-13 on Friday night.

Centennial, ranked No. 6 in the Super 25, led 28-0 at halftime and was never threatened.

Where things get interested is that Centennial faces Serra (Gardena) next week and Serra is expected to be without quarterback Khalil Tate, who was ejected during his team’s 41-15 victory against Lakewood for throwing a punch. Tate was hit late and retaliated. The sidelined emptied as both teams mixed it up.

Centennial beat Serra 68-64 last November in a classic CIF-Southern Section first-round playoff game.
