Multi-talented players excel for teams around state

We tend to forget that, unlike the pros or major college teams, high school football is built on the backs of two-way performers.

Or, at least kids who are willing to do whatever it takes to win a game.

Here are some prime examples just from last week of those who weren’t content to just play three downs and take a breather:

Sherwood Fairview quarterback Andy Guilford ran for 180 yards and four touchdowns while throwing for 278 yards and three more scores in a 55-12 win over Antwerp; and Liberty Center’s Sean Westoven rushed for 194 yards and two touchdowns, caught a touchdown pass off a fake punt and scored a two-point conversion in a 28-14 victory over previous unbeaten, West Lafayette Ridgewood.

McComb’s Jerry Brown, who ran 85 yards for a score from the Wildcat formation on his first carry, rushed for 185 yards and two touchdowns, and caught five passes for 81 yards and a score.
