Lexington Catholic at St. Xavier: Deuce Finch shredded Knights for 323 yards, 4 TDs last year, but is nursing a sore knee.

Top state game

AROUND THE STATE

Catching on at QB

Jamarielle Brown, a record-setting receiver for Lone Oak last year, is quarterbacking the Purple Flash this season. "He's doing a great job," Lone Oak Coach Jack Haskins said. "He's a real threat as a passer and a runner."

Brown, who has thrown for 517 yards and eight TDs, and run for 215 yards and three TDs in lopsided wins over Union County and Crittenden County, has a tough act to follow at QB. Corey Robinson threw for a state-record 5,872 yards and a national-record 91 TDs for Lone Oak last season, and was Mr. Football.

As a wideout last year, Brown set single-season state records for receptions (106) and receiving yards (2,021), and tied the record for TD catches (28).

Haskins thinks Brown's best position in college will be receiver, but he considers the 6-foot-3, 185-pounder a prospect at QB, too. "He's got the feet, the strong arm and the intelligence to play the position at the next level," Haskins said. "If a college would redshirt him and work on his mechanics, he could be real dangerous in a spread offense."

Winning ways

Defending 5A champ Highlands lost to Cincinnati Colerain last week, ending the state's longest winning streak at 16. Defending 2A champ Fort Campbell now has the most victories in a row. The Falcons notched their 15th consecutive win by beating Warren East, the last team to beat them early last season.
