Thanks to a recommendation from one of our favorite people — Tim “The Walking Man” Mizer — we gleaned the state high school football statistical leaders from the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s Web site, ohsaa.org.
Looking at the numbers, Madison’s Miles Iverson ranks with some of the best players in the Buckeye State.
Though the data is only partial because not all of it is reported, according to what is posted, Iverson is leading all of Ohio in terms of the times he carries the football.
The 5-foot-11, 175-pound senior has lugged the pigskin 257 times for coach Tim Willis’ Blue Streaks, who will carry a three-game winning streak into tonight’s 2009 season finale against Premier Athletic Conference rival Riverside at Riverside Stadium.
Iverson also is tied for 14th in terms of rushing yardage with 1,257 in the numbers that are listed and is tied for 30th in scoring as well with 102 points.
Series stuff
Let’s take our weekly look at some historical information in regards to the series involving the 10 area teams in their end-of-the-regular-season matchups:
n Conneaut (1-9, 0-1) at Edgewood (6-3, 0-1), 7 (WWOW) — These two archrivals have played every season in the past three decades.
In those matchups, Conneaut holds an 18-12 advantage.
However, Edgewood has won four of the last five meetings, the exception being a 20-0 Spartan triumph last fall at Municipal Stadium.
