Just when you thought high school football wasn’t big enough you’ve got celebrities infiltrating the media, not with what they’re doing on the field, but what their sons are doing.
You think you know pressure? How about riding the coattails of your dad who happened to be the greatest player of his generation in professional sports; and becoming good at his sport.
That’s Nick Montana, son of Joe and 49er folklore, who recently transferred to an ultra prep school in California (think the high school from The O.C.) to play quarterback and get more attention at his age than his dad got when he was 30. Sounds like the perfect father-son-sports-domination-story right? Until some pesky sophomore named Trevor has the skills to compete for the job and who happens to have a really Great dad, as in the Great One: Wayne Gretzky. Read More »

After Sen.

Holliday The Fastest Football Player Ever? LSU Says So
LSU this summer is touting junior wide receiver Trindon Holliday as the fastest player in college football.
Ever.
On paper, they appear to be right. The 5-foot-6 Holliday, a reserve player last year for national-champion LSU, ran a 10.02 in the 100 meters at last year’s NCAA Track and Field Championships.
Only 69 people have ever run it faster and, according to LSU, none have ever played football or were playing at the time they were clocked.
Holliday, who scored two touchdowns last season, is hoping to make the U.S. Olympic team next month. If you saw LSU play last season, you know how dynamic he can be with the ball in his hands.
“He is a football player with track ability,” Tigers football coach Les Miles told CBSSports.com. [Nashville City Paper]
Props are due to Best Week Ever for this hilarious journey into the depths of competitive mascotting.
Many things are determined by color.
You see people wearing black in a church, you know you’re at a funeral. The red and green of a stoplight tells you either to go or stop (please say you know which is which). On the athletic field, color sets two teams apart. And, in life, color could mean the difference between acceptance and persecution.
Color is woven into the fabric of Stillman College, a four-year liberal arts school in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Stillman was established in 1875 as a training school for black male ministers, and ever since it has been dedicated to increasing employment opportunities for young African-Americans.
On the football field there are only two colors that matter at Stillman: Navy Blue and Old Gold, the school colors. When the Tigers take the field in their uniforms and helmets, they all look the same, with only the numbers on the players’ backs acting as a guide.
Once the helmets come off, however, you may notice something different about No. 12 (Sean Reck) and No. 17 (Kevin Flemming). These two players are, as one source told me, ‘two stars in a night sky.’
You see, Reck and Flemming are white. Read More »
