Indiana Receiver Sets National Receiving Record

by Jeff Fisher
High School Football America

South Bend Washington (Indiana) receiver Gehrig Dieter has a season's worth of statistics in just three games, plus a national record.

Friday night, Dieter caught 12 passes for 437 yards to break the national record for receiving yards in a game.  The old record was 421 yards by J.D. Felice of Rose Bud, Arkansas.

It's the second time that Dieter has broken a record this year.  In the season opener, he had 373 yards that set a new Indiana mark, which he broke again last night.  In the second game of the season, the Panther senior hauled-in 346 yards.

So, through three games, Dieter has 1,156 yards receiving.  He's almost halfway to the all-time national season record of 2,427 yards set by Cody Cardwell of Stephenville High School in Texas in 1998.

And, by the way, Washington improved to 3-0 with a 63-10 win over Elkhart Central.

High School Football America: The Road Show Pulls into Sheridan, Indiana

by Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle


Well, Trish and I survived a crash of one of our hard drives this week, so it took a little longer to finish our Huddle Road Show piece on Sheridan, Indiana from last Friday, but here it is. Sheridan, the nine-time champs, lost to Hamilton Heights 20-3, but that's not what The Huddle Road Show stories are about.

The people in Sheridan were very warm and welcoming. When Trish finished chatting with quarterback Sam Zachary's grandmother, she thanked us for coming to her town and telling its story.

No...thank you Sheridan for giving us a relaxing Friday night in the heart of Hoosier Country!

Tonight we're heading to Paw Paw, Michigan to check-out the Redskins game against Gull Luke, BUT more important, Trish and I are going to figure-out what the heck a paw paw is??

Also, in the next two weeks, we're launching our new website High School Football America.

www.highschoolfootballamerica.com will offer you the fans, more information on EVERYTHING that is high school football in America.

The Huddle Road Show Starts Friday

by Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle

For the past two years, The High School Football Huddle has consisted of me getting my girlfriend/business partner Trish Hoffman to agree to post scores and stories throughout the week, but more importantly she gave-up her weekends for the success of The Huddle.

600,000 page views later...and as things kick into high gear this weekend...I've convinced Trish to join me as a contributor. So for the next several months, we'll be taking our video camera and our producer Amy Kulerski on a road trip to travel throughout the midwest to give you the fans, a look at some of the more interesting high school football towns in middle America.

This isn't a journey to find THE BEST TEAMS, but a journey to find THE BEST HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL COMMUNITIES!

We're taking high school football back to its roots! To small towns that live for Friday nights. So please join us out every Monday for a new video story.

Also look for Trish's Bet You Didn't Know This column that looks at the happenings away from the field...like the cheerleaders, the bands and other fun facts, that will make you say..."I didn't know that!"

The Huddle Road Show begins this Friday when we travel to Sheridan, Indiana to find-out why the town, winners of nine state football championships, put a comma after the team's last championship in 2007. We'll also introduce you to Larry "Bud" Wright, who's in his 44th season as head coach at the school and Indiana's all-time winningest coach.

If you think you're town has what it takes to bring The Huddle Road Show to town, write us and tell us why at jeff@blitzgroupllc.com.
