Team USA football to play in Canton
Need a summer fix to get you to the high school football season? Head up to Canton.
The International Federation of American Football will hold the inaugural Junior World Championship at Fawcett Stadium from June 27 through July 5. The high-school age tourney features teams from eight nations and four continents: Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Sweden and the United States.
The national team is made up of the top high school players from around the country. All 50 state high school athletic associations and the District of Columbia were asked to nominate at least 10 players to a pool for the Team USA coaching staff to choose from.
Players Pat Hinkel (Cleveland St. Ignatius HS, Miami of Ohio), Storm Klein (Licking Valley HS, Ohio State), Jack Mewhort (Toledo St. John’s, Ohio State) and Brian Smith (Cuyahoga Falls Walsh Jesuit, Northwestern) represent Ohio. Chuck Kyle of St. Ignatius is the head coach.
The United States, seeded second behind Canada, plays France at 8 p.m. on June 27. Team USA will practice at Walsh University from June 14-25. All sessions are free and open to the public.
