Ranked No. 5 nationally in high school football this week by MaxPreps, St. John's (Washington, D.C.) is loaded across the board and set to take on a daunting schedule that includes teams from six states.

With the stakes so high for the Cadets, head coach Joe Casamento doesn't have time to experiment with novelty acts.

That makes the use of 6-foot-1, 275-pound junior Antwain Littleton – known as the "Baby Bus" – at running back a bit scary for future opponents.

The Baby Bus wasn't stopping for anybody Saturday as St. John's dominated Southridge (Miami, Fla.) 48-0. Littleton rushed for three touchdowns – including runs of 31 and 23 yards – and forced a fumble on defense.



"We want all the smoke," Littleton told the Washington Post after the victory. "Anybody who wants it, they can get it."

Littleton and St. John's will be back in action Saturday against another opponent from the state of Florida in Deerfield Beach.
