R.J. Dill -- 6-foot-7, 275-pound offensive tackle from Camp Hill (Pa.) Trinity
Trinity moved to 3-0 on the season with a 45-0 blanking of Susquehanna Twp.

Tavon Wilson -- 6-foot-0, 175-pound cornerback from H.D. Woodson (D.C.)
H.D. Woodson fell to Good Counsel, 42-8.
Wilson contributed 10 solo tackles, five assists and one interception (with a 30-yard return) in the loss.
Cody Blue -- 6-foot-5, 280-pound defensive tackle from Wilde Lake
Blue’s Wilde Lake squad beat Atholton, 28-10.
Blue collected two solo tackles and one assist.
“He’s playing inside, but he’s got really good lateral speed,” said Wilde Lake head coach Doug DuVall. “He had a really nice game.”
Davin Meggett -- 5-foot-8, 190-pound running back from Surrattsville
Meggett’s Surrattsville squad dominated Owings Mills, 52-7.
Meggett had ten carries for 82 yards and two touchdowns, and also kicked two extra points and recorded six tackles.
“He only played the first half, I wasn’t trying to run the score up so I put the backups in,” said Surrattsville head coach Tom Green.
“He ran really hard. The first person never tackled him. That’s what we talked about, getting the yards after contact. He’s doing a lot of little stuff that he needed to do last year. If he’s going to play in the ACC, you can’t have a lot of flaws in your game. He’s also blocking a lot better this year.”
In Surrattsville’s week one 42-0 victory over Samuel Banks, Meggett had six carries for 83 yards and one touchdown, caught three passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns, and returned an interception for a touchdown.
Masengo Kabongo -- 6-foot-2, 280-pound defensive tackle from Fairfield (Conn.) Prep.
Kabongo and Fairfield Prep got off to an excellent start to the 2007 season, blanking Wilbur Cross 28-0.
Kabongo recorded two sacks, seven solo tackles and seven assists. He also played offensive tackle.
“They pretty much stayed away from him,” said Fairfield Prep head coach Rich Magdon. “They have a quarterback who’s more of a runner than a thrower -- they run option. I’d say 75 percent of the time on offense they ran away from him. When they did run [to his side], Maska made life miserable for [the quarterback].”

A.J. Francis -- 6-foot-4, 314-pound defensive lineman from Gonzaga (D.C.) College
Gonzaga beat Georgetown Prep, 20-12 on Saturday. Gonzaga moves to 1-1.
Francis, who plays nose guard and offensive tackle, registered one solo tackle and four assists.
“He played much better than he did against Loyola [in a week one loss],” said Gonzaga head coach Joe Reyda. “He didn’t have any tackles against Loyola… I think against Loyola he wasn’t getting rid of his man. He was sticking with his guy and not getting after the ball. He did a better job this week of hitting his guy, riding down the line and finding the ball.”
Kerry Boykins -- 6-foot-1, 200-pound wide receiver from Chesapeake (Va.) Oscar F. Smith
Oscar Smith blasted Indian River, 37-0 on Friday.
Boykins was held out of Friday’s game with a sprained right knee. He hopes to make his season debut this week against Great Bridge.
“He’ll start practicing today,” said Oscar Smith head coach Richard Morgan. “We’re hoping he’ll feel good. He’s been doing some light sprint work, so we’re hoping he’ll be able to come back and be ready for Friday.”
Cameron Chism -- 6-foot-2, 180-pound cornerback from Bishop McNamara
Bishop McNamara topped Bishop Ireton in Alexandria, Va. 19-14 to move to 2-1 on the season.
According to DCSportsFan.com, Chism caught four passes for 30 yards and one touchdown.

Tony - I'm not sure that Meggett runs a 6.30 sec 60 M dash.
The high school record is 6.57 sec.
The fastest time in Maryland last year was a 6.77 run by Justin Murdock from Glen Burnie.
At last winters state indoor 1A/2A championships Meggett came in 7th in the 55M dash with a time of 6.69 sec.
