If you’re disappointed with Northwestern’s season opening loss to Michigan State, the Class of 2022 is here to raise your spirits.

For the first time this year we had all 15 commits play a game last week, with some dynamic and dominant performances across the country.

Naperville Central pulled off a massive upset over powerhouse Lincoln-Way East, 20-17.

Wide receiver Reggie Fleurima put his stamp all over this game, finishing with eight catches for 152 yards and a touchdown. His monstrous performance featured his own 9-yard touchdown run, a 46-yard catch to set up their other touchdown and a 39-yard reception to set up the game-winning field goal.

Converted soccer player Seth Lendzion kicked the game-winner as time expired, ending Lincoln-Way East’s 21-game winning streak.

Naperville Central (2-0) is on the road this week, travelling to play Novi (Mich.) Catholic Central.

Have you ever played Madden with all the sliders on, and on Rookie mode? That’s the kind of game Joseph Himon had for Little Rock (Ark.) Pulaski Academy on Saturday.

In a 63-39 win over Madison (Miss.) Madison-Ridgeland Academy, he totaled more than 300 all-purpose yards.

On the ground, he tallied 16 carries for 197 yards and four touchdowns. As a receiver, he finished with 12 catches for 171 yards and a touchdown.

The crazy part about that 1:12 highlight reel is that it doesn’t do his 94-yard rushing touchdown full justice. Look at this one:

Pulaski (2-0) travels to Nashville (Tenn.) Lipscomb Academy this week. Maybe Lipscomb can hold them under 60 points.

A week after the nationally televised beat down/debacle that was Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy vs. Bishop Sycamore, safety Trevon Howard and the Ascenders trounced a real school, Cincinnati (Ohio) LaSalle, 58-7.

This concludes their Ohio trip with a 2-0 record and a combined score of 116-7.

The Ascenders keep taking care of business this season as one of the most formidable squads in the country. Howard and their stifling defense are key components, allowing 22 total points through their first three weeks.

Howard also now has bragging rights over injured Wildcat running back Cam Porter, a LaSalle alumnus.

IMG (3-0) returns home to host Miami Northwestern.

Evan Smith and Birmingham (Ala.) Oak Mountain edged out Gadsden City 17-7 last week.

Smith continues to shine as a quarterback despite being slotted in at cornerback for his future Wildcat career. He finished with more than 200 all-purpose yards and both Oak Mountain touchdowns per the Shelby County Reporter.

Oak Mountain (3-0) looks to stay undefeated when they go on the road against Vestavia Hills this week.

Glendora (Calif.) continued its strong start to the season with a 28-14 win over Covina (Calif.) Charter Oak in a rivalry game for The Mayor’s Trophy.

Linebacker Braydon Brus, nicknamed “The Bus”, kept rolling as the feature back for Glendora's offense. He finished with 112 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.

He also had a strong stretch in the late third quarter where he recovered a fumble, then capped the ensuing drive with a 23-yard touchdown run.

Glendora (3-0) travels to Hacienda Heights (Calif.) Los Altos next week.

Niceville (Fla.) didn't live up to its name on Friday, hurting Fort Walton Beach Choctawhatchee’s feelings with a 39-0 victory.

Future defensive tackle Austin Firestone was living in the back field; Twitter is littered with clips like these:

Firestone continues to make a name for himself this season as Niceville has set the tone at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, spearheaded by his efforts.

The Eagles (2-0) travel to Fort Walton Beach this week.

Safety Robert Fitzgerald and Dallas (Tex.) Jesuit dropped their Week 2 game to Rockwall, 75-28.

Fitzgerald was one of the lone bright spots, posting a 49-yard reception that set up a Jesuit touchdown. But the Rockwall offense had too much firepower .

Rockwall beat Jesuit by air and on the ground. Mississippi State commit Braedyn Locke threw for 413 yards and five touchdowns, and running back Zach Hernandez rushed for 196 yards and three scores.

Jesuit (1-1) looks to get back on track this week when they host Choctaw (Okla.).

Richland (NJ) St. Augustine Prep and defensive end Denis Jaquez rebounded from a Week 1 defeat to beat Lawrenceville Notre Dame 51-21.

St. Augustine got out to a strong start by scoring on all of its five first half possessions, and secured the win behind running back Kanye Udoh’s 182 yards and four touchdowns.

St. Augustine (1-1) will be at home next week against Williamstown.

Offensive lineman Deuce McGuire and Marist continued to lay the smack down as they kick off their season.

Last week, it was a 49-0 win over Chicago Curie; this week it was a 45-7 drubbing of Oak Lawn Richards.

Marist’s (2-0) opponent next is Nazareth Academy, who has uncharacteristically started the season 0-2. Look for Marist to get their first real test when they host Chicago Mt. Carmel in Week 4.

Maine South beat Warren Township 10-2 last week, toppling the Chicago Sun-Times’ top ranked team in Class 8A.

It's been a quiet start to the season for tight end Chris Petrucci so far, but his team is off and running. It does not get much tougher than gutting out road wins against Stevenson and Warren in the first two weeks of the season.

Maine South is on its way to putting together another dominant season for one of the power programs in the Chicagoland area.

The Red Hawks (2-0) should get a chance to take a breath when they host winless Fremd this week.

Frisco (Tex.) Lone Star and Devin Turner lost a shootout with Aledo, 45-35, last week.

Lone Star faced a ton of adversity this game, including the loss of senior quarterback and Oklahoma State commit Garrett Rangel to a lower-body injury, forcing junior Gabriel Barrientes to step in.

Lone Star was down 28-7 at the half and closed the gap to 38-35 behind a strong performance from Barrientes. But they ultimately came up short against the No. 1 team in Texas’ Class 5A Division II.

Lone Star (1-1) hosts Frisco (Tex.) Hermitage this week.

Towson (Md.) Loyola Blakefield and defensive end Anto Saka came up just short in their 2021 curtain raiser, losing a tight one to Annapolis St. Mary’s, 14-12.

This was a battle between two strong Maryland programs as Loyola Blakefield moves to the MIAA B Conference.

St. Mary’s running back Wyatt Cotton starred with 242 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.

Loyola Blakefield (0-1) is a force in Maryland high school football and won’t stay down for long. The Dons will look for their first win this week against Baltimore (Md.) Boys Latin.

Nick Herzog and Stilwell (Kan.) Blue Valley lost their opener, 35-21, to crosstown rival Blue Valley North West.

A 14-0 Blue Valley run five minutes out of a third-quarter lightning delay tied the game, but it wasn’t enough as the Tigers came up short in the rivalry game.

This week, Blue Valley (0-1) takes on Lenexa St. James Academy at home.

Burtonsville (Md.) Paint Branch opened their season with a 44-7 blowout win over Kensington Einstein.

The Panthers got up big quickly with a 36-0 halftime lead, fueled by safety Octavian Smith’s play on both sides of the ball.

The Paint Branch offense is run through its quarterback Smith, and he dominated throwing and running the ball. The clock was running for almost the entire second half.

Paint Branch (1-0) will match up with Gaithersburg (Md.) Quince Orchard this week.

Mobile (Ala.) McGill-Toolen and Braden Turner went down to the wire Week 2 with Saraland but lost 32-25. It was a marked improvement from the Week 1’s 76-51 loss to Pike Road.

Saraland scored the game-winning touchdown with just 33 seconds left on the clock. McGill-Toolen will have to deal with its team discipline going forward; they racked up 12 penalties this game.

This week, McGill-Toolen (0-2) hosts Gulf Shores.
