A few more notes from Friday's high school football games, from me and other members of our sports staff.

From Greg Jones

While senior tackle Tony Springmann was on the sidelines after suffering a concussion in practice earlier in the week, Bishop Dwenger rolled to a 44-13 win over South Side on Friday.

The Notre Dame recruit could return in a week or so.

But others stepped up for the four-time defending SAC champion Saints.

"We got great contributions from Mike Yoder at defensive end, and the other defensive end, Nick McCarthy played about as well as I have seen him," Dwenger coach Chris Svarczkopf said. "When you have a good secondary and good ends, you can just wait to develop the rest. The rest is not too bad either. We put pressure on that young man, and that made a big difference."

From Justin A. Cohn

Leo senior running back Connor Kacsor's offensive production was big in the Lions' 34-6 win over co-NHC champion Norwell.

He had 146 yards and three touchdowns on 14 carries.

"He did a great job," Leo coach Jared Sauder said. "He's a very special player and he's got a lot of speed. And I thought our offensive line did a nice job up front blocking for him."

From Steve Warden

Homestead racked up more than 400 rushing yards in a 55-30 win over Huntington North on Friday – 218 of which came from Cody Appenzeller, who had five touchdowns.

But it wasn't all Appenzeller.

"I got help from Jake Weber on a couple of them," Appenzeller said of his touchdowns.

Indeed, if football ever has assists for touchdowns, then Weber should get a couple, thanks to the play Weber said is called"27 counter trap."

It's when Weber appears to be the intended ball career, but just as he burrows into the line and is about to go down, he flips the ball to Appenzeller, who cruised in for a couple touchdowns.

"We pull the guard, I cut it up, then I look to pitch," Weber said. "If I can't pitch I get what, eight yards? But I'm looking to pitch."
