Lexington coach Dave Kaple couldn't be happier to see Tim Hiller finally leave Orrville.
"I'll be sending him a graduation card," Kaple said.
Hiller completed 20 of 28 passes for 295 yards and five TDs in a 56-40 win last week. Hiller, who has thrown for 1,245 yards and 11 TDs with just two interceptions this season, also carried 10 times for 92 yards.
Last season Hiller lit up the Minutemen for a school-record 419 yards passing and three TDs in a 28-14 win.
"I don't know anyone who's torched us the way he has," Kaple said.
St. Ed Problem
Officials at Division I No. 2 Lakewood St. Edward notified the Ohio High School Athletic Association on Monday that several of their wins may be jeopardized because an ineligible player participated. The OHSAA and school officials were looking into the situation. A decision is expected within 10 days.
For the defense
Brothers Kyle and Ryan Smith returned pass interceptions for TDs on consecutive plays in Dayton Stebbins' 37-12 win over Monroe, Kyle returning his 76 yards and, following the kickoff, Ryan bringing one back 31 yards; and the Eaton secondary returned three interceptions for TDs in a 66-7 win over Dayton Northridge.

Passing fancy

Coldwater won the annual Backyard Battle by limiting St. Henry to 35 yards rushing and 18 yards passing. St. Henry did not record a first down in the second half and had just four in the game.
