Youth movement plays big for small schools Flint Hill, MaretWASHINGTON — Tom Verbanic isn’t used to starting freshmen.
The Flint Hill head coach can hardly ever remember starting any first-year players during his time at Westfield, where he won a pair of Virginia AAA Division 6 state titles. In fact, he could only point to one: Penn State star and NFL running back Evan Royster. But right now, the Huskies (5-2) are starting three freshmen, one of which is evoking Royster in his stunningly quick adjustment to high school ball.
That player is Jordan Houston, who is making an immediate impact alongside defensive back Zach Garcia and wide receiver/defensive back Trey Rucker. But at just 5-foot-8, 155 pounds, Houston has shouldered the offensive load, getting at least 20 carries in every game, while racking up an average of nearly 200 yards per game to go along with 12 touchdowns on the ground.

From futbol to football at Northwest High School
WASHINGTON — Plenty of high school kids play multiple sports. Some are even recruited by a coach from the sport they grew up playing because of a certain size, speed or skill set. And a number of soccer players have made the successful conversion to the football field.
Northwest High School’s J.J. Funez is a little different. After playing for D.C. United’s academy team the last couple of years, he began working out in the spring with some friends on the football team. Going into his senior year, he wanted a chance to play the sport he had loved and excelled at growing up in Florida. So he went to Mike Neubeiser, head coach of the school in Germantown, Maryland, and asked.
“I said, ‘Sure, you can kick for us,’” explains Neubeiser. “But he was like, ‘No, I want to play play.'”

Fresh off upset win, St. John’s has much bigger test against DeMatha, history
WASHINGTON — We had a very close vote for our first DMV Game of the Week, but we ended up with what promises to be an entertaining grudge match between two longtime rivals, with both local and national implications. We’ll be up in Northwest D.C., just off Rock Creek Park, on the campus of St. John’s College High School as the Cadets (3-1, 1-0 WCAC) host the DeMatha Stags (4-0, 1-0 WCAC) Saturday afternoon.
When the season opened a few weeks ago, DeMatha had a chance to send an early message to the high school football world that D.C. football could hang with the big boy power programs from the traditional recruiting hotbeds. They hosted Miami’s Central High School, coming off a 14-1, Florida State Title season, ranked second in the country.
