I don't know. I'd feel kind of self conscious playing a team named Holy Innocents. Isn't that like sacrilegious?

I agree that the name sounds funny, but they were actually a pretty good team and its a good sized (1600 kids) K-12 school. They're playing a schedule this year that includes Atlanta private schools like Lovett and Westminster, as well as a bunch of Georgia 3A public schools (no split in Georgia). They had a couple of good running backs and Ensworth was fortunate to beat them-- a solid , well played game by both teams. And anyway, as far a sacreligious goes, if you beat Notre Dame, aren't you beating up your own mother?

Actually, I think I'm wrong--- I think Notre Dame means "Our Lady", not "Our Mother"---- somebody from Ryan or a Latin scholar from MBA could help me out here. Let's try this--- suppose McCallie (which I'm guessing is uncfan13's school) was fortunate enough to play and defeat the only high school in the country to produce 2 Heisman Trophy winners--- Mater Dei in Los Angeles (John Huarte and Matt Leinhardt)--- a long trip and a tough game, but cut me some slack here--- anyway--- surely beating up on the Mother of God has got to be about the most sacreligious thing you could do-- but you'd be proud of it, I promise. Anyway-- odd sounding names aside, Ensworth played a good game--- next week at BGA will be a tougher test-- we'll see how they do.

And for the $100 prize (without googling!), who was Huarte's favorite target? Their senior year they lost to an underdog USC team to spoil their perfect season. Remember: no googling!

Was it that kid that played tb and returned kicks for UCLA? Lewis I think.

At Notre Dame, Jack Snow, in high school, I have no idea. To continue the trivia contest-- who did Huarte sign with in the pros, for a bonus of $200k, one of the first big dollar bonuses in pro football. An d for extra credit, who signed with the same team fro $400k and beat Huarte out for the QB job?
