MaxPreps Top 10 High School Football Games of the Week

Oscar Smith (Chesapeake, Va.) vs. Gilman (Baltimore, Md.)

Although it was merely a scrimmage and will not count in the record book, Oscar Smith already has an impressive win. The Tigers edged Phoebus (Hampton), 26-24, two weeks ago. Phoebus still owns the longest active win streak in the country at 45 games. Virginia Tech commit J.C Coleman ran for over 100 yards in that tune-up. He accounted for over 2,000 combined rushing and receiving yards in 2010. Hampton recruit Jaylian Williamson threw for 3,244 yards last year and Western Michigan-bound receiver Sequan Gooding was on the receiving end for over 700 of them. The team's top returning defender Rakeem Stallings had 13 sacks from his linebacker position. Coach Richard Morgan, who is 100-13 in nine seasons at Oscar Smith, says speed is the strength of his team.
 
Gilman was extremely impressive last week in its 68-9 season-opening win over an outmanned Maryland Christian (Bel Air) squad. On his first play as the Greyhounds' signal caller, DeMatha (Hyattsville) transfer Shane Cockerille dashed 80 yards for a touchdown. MaxPreps Top 100 recruit Cyrus Jones added a touchdown rushing in addition to scoring on an interception and kickoff return. As explosive as its offense is, the strength of this team might be its defensive front seven led by Penn State recruit Brian Gaia (6-3, 295) and 5-10, 210-pound end Kenneth Goins (18 sacks last season). This game is part of the I-95 Kickoff Classic and will be played at Morgan State University.
