It has not been a particularly good month for five-star Ohio State-bound wide receivers.

First, St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) wide receiver Trevon Grimes underwent season-ending knee surgery. Now, Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) star Tyjon Lindsey has announced that his senior season, too, has come to an end.

“I got the news today (Thursday),” Lindsey told Steve Guiremand of MyLVSports.com. “If I played (the season) out I might hurt it even more and I might actually tear a ligament. I don’t want to risk anything right now so my decision is to try and get the surgery as soon as possible.”

Both Lindsey and Grimes expect to be fully recovered for next season in Columbus.

Lindsey returned to Bishop Gorman before the season after intending to play for Centennial (Corona, Calif.) in his native Southern California. He was not eligible to play early in the season while his transfer paperwork was processed, but he also broke a collarbone during a scrimmage that kept him sidelined.

Cameron Turley set two Mill Creek (Hoschton, Ga.) school records and equaled another in last week’s victory against Peachtree Ridge.

His 347 passing yards set the single-game record; his four passing touchdowns equaled the single-game record; and his 37 career passing touchdowns broke the school record of 35.

It’s been that kind of year for Turley and Mill Creek.

The Hawks are 8-0 and ranked No. 12 in the Super 25 heading into Friday night’s matchup with Mountain View (Lawrenceville), which is 7-1. Mill Creek won last year’s meeting 42-0, but this Mountain View team is having a breakthrough season and heading toward its first playoff berth.

Turley, 6-3 and 190 pounds, is in his second year as the full-time starter at quarterback. He threw for 2,200 yards and 16 touchdown last season and led the team to 13-1 record. The lone loss was to Colquitt County (Moultrie) in the state semifinals — a loss that Mill Creek avenged 34-27 in the season opener this season.

When this season ends, football likely will end for Turley, who is a Georgia Tech baseball commit.

USA TODAY High School Sports caught up with Turley this week to talk about the season so far, his success and balancing baseball and football.

Q: How would you describe how the season has gone so far?

A: This season has gone very well so far for our team obviously, but we always strive to get better. I feel like we’re just scratching our potential as a complete team and it will be very exciting once we put together all the key aspects of our team.

Q: Why do you think you’ve had so much success?

A: I think I’ve done well this year because I’m just having fun. I don’t have the pressure of recruiting lingering anymore so I can focus on my team of all things.

Q: Going back to the season opener, Colquitt County had a long winning streak and was two-time state champion. What was the significance of beating them and getting off to such a big start?

A: It meant a lot to our team to get the big win in the dome against a team like Colquitt. We were really excited to come into that game knowing their past success and had a chip on our shoulder from last year when they beat us in the semifinals. Overall, it was a great win for a program and definitely a confidence booster for the new season.

Q: Peachtree Ridge was a big game for you in terms of setting those school records. What do those marks mean to you?

A: The records are pretty cool to have now that I’ve broken them, but the only thing I’m really concerned about is winning games. If I do my job and help my team win games, regardless however many yards I put up in the game, I’m happy with the outcome.

Q: Your intention is to play baseball in college so how do you balance the demands of baseball and football, especially in the offseason for each sport?

A: In the offseason, especially now with baseball around the corner, I’ll stay after practice and hit at the high school field about three times a week. It’s sort of tough to balance them because they both take up so much time and energy, but you get used to a routine once you set one. Practicing football during baseball season is hard because baseball has games throughout the week so it’s hard to make time for football. I usually just throw a football occasionally throughout the baseball season, nothing too big.

Barbe High coach Glen Cecchini received his American Family Insurance ALL-USA Baseball Coach of the Year trophy Thursday during a presentation at the Lake Charles (La.) school.

Cecchini led Barbe to its ninth state title, including its third consecutive 5A title, last spring. In 30 years as a coach at Barbe, including the last 29 as the head coach, he is 826-186, including 35-6 last season.

Asked his biggest accomplishment, Cecchini says, “Molding teenagers into successful young role models. We have 13 doctors, nine lawyers, successful business owners, successful coaches who have won state championships.”

Earlier this month, he coached the USA Baseball U18 team to a gold medal in the COPABE Pan Am “AAA” Championships in Mexico.

In the history of the American Family Insurance ALL-USA selections, few players have been chosen more than once to either the first, second or third team.

But only one, according to USA TODAY research, was named Player of the Year in his or her sport twice.

That player is Candace Parker, who was the ALL-USA Girls Basketball Player of the Year in 2002-03 and 2003-04 for Naperville (Ill.).

Parker added another chapter to her long list of basketball accolades on Thursday night when she won the WNBA Finals for the first time in her career and was named WNBA Finals Most Valuable Player. Parker led the Los Angeles Sparks with 28 points and 12 rebounds to a 77-76 victory in Game 5 against the Minnesota Lynx.

The championship — and Parker’s emotional response, dedicating the title to her former Tennessee coach Pat Summit — provides an opportunity to look back at just how dominant Parker was in high school in her two Player of the Year seasons.

Junior Year, 2002-03

She averaged 24.3 points, 14.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists and three assists, leading Naperville to the Class AA state title and was named Illinois’ Miss Basketball for the second time.

In her first three high school seasons, she posted a total of 2,175 points and 1,316 rebounds.

She discussed her future as part of a USA TODAY interview after being named Player of the Year:

Q: In 10 years I want to be where? Doing what?

A: “In graduate school either studying psychology or medicine. Of course, I’d be interested in the WNBA if I get the opportunity.”

Senior Year, 2003-04

She averaged 24.3 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.5 blocks and 3.3 steals, leading Naperville to its second consecutive Class AA state title, despite missing 11 games with a torn knee ligament. She also was named Illinois Miss Basketball for the first time.

She finished with 2,758 career points, helping Naperville to a 95-4 record in her final 99 games.

Asked what car she drove at the time by USA TODAY, she said a 1990 Ford Topaz.

Q: What vanity plate would you choose?

A: PLJ. “Means peace, love and jump shot. I that’s how I sign autographs.”

Spencer Curtis was already had Utah state record for career receiving yards, but the Jordan (Sandy) senior has now added marks for receptions and touchdowns, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.

In the regular-season finale against Cottonwood, Curtis had 13 receptions for 279 yards and five touchdowns. That gives him totals of 241 catches, 4,314 yards and 43 receiving TDs. His five touchdowns in a game also equals a state record.

The previous marks were 231 receptions and 43 touchdowns.

More amazingly, Curtis has season totals of 60 receptions, 1,197 yards and 15 touchdowns after tearing an ACL in the offseason.

Jordan faces Viewmont in the opening round of the Class 5A playoffs on Friday.

When Scappoose High planned for a “Blackout” for its homecoming game against Astoria, this is probably not what it hand in mind.

Late in the first quarter with no score, the power went out.

As reported by The Oregonian, “a power outage, believed to be caused by a car accident in Scappoose, knocked out the field lights, scoreboard and any other source of light other than emergency vehicles and cell phones.”

After attempting to move the game to another location Friday night to finish, the game was suspended and will be played Saturday.

No. 1 Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) raced to a 42-0 lead and finished with a 71-0 victory against Desert Oasis on Friday night to extend its winning streak to 48 games.

The seven-time Nevada state champions have not lost to a Nevada team since 2008 and that run could continue this season. Gorman is 4-0 against in-state competition with regular season games against Durango and Sierra Vista remaining before the playoffs.

Gorman posted its second consecutive lopsided shutout and has allowed only seven points in the last 11 quarters.

The Gaels improved to 9-0 on the season.

Gorman was without Ohio State wide receiver commit Tyjon Lindsey, who announced Thursday that he would undergo knee surgery.

No. 3 Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) and No. 10 St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.) put on the matchup you would expect between Top 10 teams on Friday night.

While it lacked the high-scoring offensive fireworks that have been typical of Mater Dei games, the Monarchs earned a hard-fought 26-21 victory to remain unbeaten.

The victory broke Mater Dei’s six-game losing streak to St. John Bosco, its Trinity League rival.

Mater Dei (8-0) scored the game’s final points with 7:01 remaining on Shakobe Harper’s 1-yard run and the extra point. It was the first time the Monarchs led since 3-0.

Mater Dei had taken possession at the Bosco 43 as Jalen Cole picked off a pass.

After the teams traded punts, Bosco (6-2) took over at its own 8-yard line with 3:37 left after another fabulous punt by Mater Dei’s Ryan Stonehouse. The Braves got the ball to the Mater Dei 41 with just more than a minute left but a pair of incomplete passes urned the ball over on downs.

Mater Dei took over with 55 seconds left and was able to run out the clock for the win.

Mater Dei had cut the lead to 21-19 with 8:47 left in the fourth quarter on a 15-yard TD pass from Daniels to Osiris St. Brown, with St. Brown diving into the end zone for the score. It was Mater Dei’s first offensive touchdown of the night.

Bosco had extended its lead with 5:51 remaining in the third quarter on a 5-yard TD run from Demetrious Flowers. With the extra point, Bosco led 21-12.

Mater Dei had cut the lead to 14-12 on a 75-yard punt return from Amon-Ra St. Brown, but the two-point pass was incomplete.

The Braves had a 14-6 lead at halftime. Flowers scored on a 10-yard run and the PAT was good with 3:31 remaining in the second quarter.

Mater Dei’s Chase McGrath hit a pair of field goals in the first quarter while Bosco got a 1-yard touchdown run from quarterback Re-al Mitchell for a 7-6 lead.

Mater Dei was called for nine penalties and nearly 100 yards in the first half and had a touchdown called back.

Bosco’s two losses have come to teams now ranked No. 1 and No. 3 in the Super 25. No. 1 Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) earned a 35-20 win against the Braves on Sept. 9.

Corsicana (Texas) apparently doesn’t mind doing a little extra when it comes to getting wins.

The Tigers set a Texas record and equaled the national record with their fifth overtime game of the season Friday night — and more amazingly — they have won them all. That includes Friday’s 21-20 overtime victory against Lindale.

Corsicana is 5-3 on the season — 5-0 in overtime games and 0-3 in games that end in regulation.

“I’ll play overtime all the time if we can win, but I would really like to win a game in regulation,” coach Steve Hoffman told the Corsicana Daily Sun. “It’s fun to win overtime, and it feels great to be 3-0 (in the district). It’s like five overtimes, believe it or not, it happened.

“But it’s making me old. I used to have red hair. Now its grey.”

According to the National Federation of State High School Athletic Associations record book, three other teams have played five overtime games in a season: Rogersville Lauderdale County (Ala.) in 1986, Tremont (Ill.) in 1984 and Lake Linden-Hubbell (Mich.) in 1976.

Michael Carter (Photo: 247Sports)

North Carolina running back commit Michael Carter set the Navarre (Fla.) school record with seven touchdowns Friday night.

And whose record did he break? His older brother, Dwayne, now a running back for Division II Harding University.

Big brother was following along — retweeting reports from the game in Florida.

Michael finished with 321 yards on the ground and his seven TDs came via six rushing and one return in a 70-26 victory against American Heritage (Delray). He had six scores and 271 yards at halftime.

Consider that his season totals as a junior were 532 yards rushing and eight touchdowns.

Dougie Peoples of Galax (Va.) tied the Virginia state record with eight rushing touchdowns Friday night in a 54-7 victory against Narrows.

His scoring were went for 20, 29, 8, 2, 31 and 39 yards in the first half and then 8 and 7 yards in the second.

He finished with 306 yards on 25 attempts.

Narrows had taken a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter, but Peoples and Galax took over from there.

You won’t see a kick blocked more cleanly than Israel Mukuamu from Berkeley Senior (Moncks Corner, S.C.) did Friday night.

The 6-4 junior comes off the edge, puts his hands out, barely leaves his feet and comes down in a standing position.

A safety, Mukuamu has offers from South Carolina and Wake Forest

Robert Porcher IV (Photo: 247Sports)

Nebraska commit Robert Porcher IV had four sacks Friday night to set the school record for Dr. Phillips (Orlando).

He now has 27 with one more regular-season game and the postseason. Dr. Phillips is 6-3 and 3-0 in district play with a 35-game winning streak in the district.

Sacks run in the family business. His father had 95.5 career sacks during an 11-year NFL career with the Detroit Lions after being drafted in the first round in 1992. Porcher was a three-time All-Pro as a player.

Porcher IV, a 6-3, 245-pound defensive end, committed to Nebraska in June.

Tee Higgins (Photo: Intersport)

Clemson wide receiver commit Tee Higgins is know more for his work on defense, but Friday night, he picked off a pass and went 89 yards for the pick six for Oak Ridge (Tenn.).

The end result overall was not what Oak Ridge was looking for, as it was upset 27-24 by Webb School with the winning points coming on a field goal with 54 seconds to play. Oak Ridge dominated Webb 62-6 last season.

At the time, Higgins’ return gave Oak Ridge at 14-7 advantage.

Higgins is an Under Armour All-American and a midseason candidate for American Family Insurance ALL-USA Offensive Player of the Year.

Evan Battey (Photo: 247Spotrs)

Villa Park (Calif.) had a 6-foot-7 mascot sporting the Spartan head during Friday night’s football game — quite possibly the nation’s tallest mascot.

The Spartan is usually much shorter, but four-star basketball recruit Evan Battey donned the headgear.

Battey, a power forward who committed to Colorado last month, seemed to enjoy his time as the mascot (see the video below). Villa Park beat Canyon 25-14.

“I don’t usually put on the mascot head, but I like to dance in front of the crowd at football and volleyball games to get us hyped,” Battey told USA TODAY High School Sports. “But some guy had it and was like, ‘Do you want to put it on?’ and I said, ‘Sure!’ ”

Battey is ranked among the top 30 power forwards in the nation.

A high school football official in North Carolina is believed to be the first official to take a knee during the playing of the national anthem.

The official, who has not been identified, kneeled before the Southwest vs. Croatan High School game, according to the Jacksonville Daily News. It is unclear whether the official has taken a knee before previous games.

“I just think it’s not right to do that at a high school football game, especially for a official paid by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association,” N.C. General Assembly Representative Phil Shepard told the JDN on Saturday.

“Whether you agree with whats going on or not, he’s officiating a local ball game where young men and women are watching. Military men and women have made the ultimate sacrifice for this country and I believe it’s disrespectful to the country, everybody in the country and what it stands for.”

A spokeswoman for the school district and the North Carolina High School Athletic Association did not respond to the JDN for comment.

The move sparked social media conversation with many criticizing the official.

The University of Georgia football team had the weekend off, but a couple of future Bulldogs running backs had huge days for their high school teams to the tune of 12 touchdowns and 551 rushing yards.

In Pennsylvania, St. Joseph’s Prep (Philadelphia) running back D’Andre Swift had 19 carries for 269 yards and six touchdowns and added another score on a 12-yard reception. The Prep, ranked No. 18 in the Super 25, beat La Salle (Wyndmoor, Pa.), 63-35.

In Texas, Langham Creek (Houston) running back Toneil Carter had five touchdowns with 282 yards on 32 carries in a 62-38 victory against Cypress Creek (Cypress).

Swift is ranked as the No. 4 running back and No. 1 player in Pennsylvania by the 247Sports Composite, and Carter is ranked as the No. 7 running back.

Swift has been selected for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Jan. 7 in San Antonio. Carter is scheduled to receive his honorary jersey for the Under Armour All-America Bowl on Monday at his school.

Jahvon Quinerly (Photo: 247Sports)

Jahvon Quinerly is ranked as the No. 7 point guard in the Class of 2018 and has kept up a busy schedule.

Quinerly from Hudson Catholic in New Jersey put his dribbling skills on display in the Sharette Dixon Classic and the Nike IS8 events Saturday after coming back from a visit to Villanova.

Quinerly is being pursued by Villanova, Arizona, Virginia and Seton Hall, according to ZagsBlog.

Here is a quick highlight from the Dixon Classic, where he scored 17 points as the New Jersey Upperclassmen lost to the New York Upperclassman, 103-92.
