they had a write-up in the most recent Sports Illustrated about St. X's strength and conditioning program, so i checked 'em out online. some of you Ohio guys are probably very familiar with them. evidently they are the best high school team in Ohio, and one of the best in the nation, and from what i could tell their only black player is their tailback.

in SI, they singled out him and cornerback Jon Saelinger (that's him below running back an INT, he's #22). he's listed at 6'0", 185-pounds, and SI said he runs a 4.4 40! wow! not surprisingly, i couldn't find much info about him or their other white skill guys online, so maybe some of you could drop some knowledge on me. but from what little i could find, he seems to have a knack for making big plays and picking off passes...

Yeah St.X is the class of Cincinnati area and SW Ohio football. Ohio St's starting QB next year might be a kid their red shirting this year from St.X, Robbie Schonhoft. This program is becoming a national powerhouse where as a few years ago they were just prominent on the state level. They are always a predominitly white team that dominates.

I have followed X for years and St.X has only recently started using blacks in there football program[mostly because they don't recruit [It's pay to play on top of being high tuition based] for there school . And to my knowledge they never have had more than two starting blacks on the team at the same time!
