There are now 135 more players in the recruit757 database. We’re continuously on the lookout for more players that are growing into their varsity role. Tomorrow’s stars are here today on recruit757.

Today, Yahoo Sports’ whimsical look at High School Football Highlights called “Prep Rally” featured Maury athlete Davion Taylor’s 99-yard run for a touchdown during a kickoff return against Lakeland. The return was exciting and it made the game closer for the Commodores, though they lost to the Cavaliers on Friday night. The article writer may have gotten his geography confused a bit, but the highlight is spectacular.

Grafton Athlete Marcus Spearman has been making headlines for several years now. Coming into his senior season, he already had several options for college, but one kept calling to him. He’s a smart kid with a 4.4 GPA. He has book smarts, football smarts, leadership skills, and a knack for being a playmaker. That combination led him to one of the ultimate choices for college on the East Coast.

Special seasons have a moment where a team can look back and see the turning point. On Friday night, Granby may have had their moment. The Comets came into the game with a 2-0 record and something to prove against Woodbridge of the Northwest Region. The Vikings brought in their blue chip lineman, DaShawn Hand, who’s ranked by many as the #1 recruit in the nation for the Class of 2014. Granby overcame the hype, and their own mistakes, to close the game out with decisive plays that earned them the win.

The Ocean Lakes Dolphins continued to impress Friday night, manhandling the Marlins 45 – 0. The Fins scored on each of their first half possessions with Brandon Simmons scoring once, Mike Dunston twice, and QB Corwin Cutler hooking up with both Mike Alston and Andre Dessenberg through the air. By halftime, Ocean Lakes had opened a 31 – 0 lead, and never looked back.

A playwright couldn’t have written a better script. Two veteran coaches going toe to toe. One is the legend of the region with a roster loaded with college prospects. The other, inheriting a team that graduated a number of skilled seniors: an underdog. Just when you thought you knew how the season would play out, you get a plot twist.

The annual meeting between Oscar Smith and Indian River has the importance of a rivalry game. Though the rivalry has been lopsided for years (the Tigers have won every game for well over a decade), there’s still enough plenty of spirit between the two teams.
