Lakota West’s Hicks in high demand
Lakota West High School senior linebacker Jordan Hicks has earned his reputation chasing down quarterbacks and running backs. Now, he’s being pursued … by the media.
To curb the demand for the No. 2-rated player from the Class of 2010, according to ESPN, Lakota West will hold a weekly conference call for media to interview him.
This from Lakota West’s website:
“Due to the high volume of requests from the media, the Lakota West Athletic Department will be holding a weekly conference call for media outlets to interview senior linebacker Jordan Hicks. Hicks, ESPN’s #2 rated player in the class of 2010, and Lakota West head coach Larry Cox will be available every Monday at 11:00am throughout the season to field questions regarding the recruiting process.”
Kudos to Lakota West for helping Hicks cut down on his media interviews and requests, allowing more time for school and high school football … and, well, just to be a kid. It’s sad things are coming to this for high school students, isn’t it?

Tough win in the books, Northmont prepares for state champs
CLAYTON — Lance Schneider won’t have to spend as much time on the Monday pep talk this weekend.
The Northmont High School football coach and his team are gaining confidence following a 7-6 victory on Friday, Aug. 28, against a highly touted Lakota West team at Welcome Stadium in the Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown.
Now, with defending Division I state champion St. Ignatius coming up on Saturday — on the road, we might add — it’s easier for Schneider to handle Monday’s practice with a win in the books.
“You don’t have to repair the psyche before you travel three and a half hours to play the defending state champions,” Schneider said Saturday.
For those who weren’t there, defensive fans missed a game of their dreams.
“It was very physical,” Schneider said. “There were some helmets getting knocked off, guys getting hit pretty hard when going through the secondary. Just two teams going toe to toe with the score very indicative of what the game was.”
