FOOTBALL

Streetsboro High School football standout Dorian Williams will be continuing his academic and athletic careers at Princeton.

The 5-foot-10, 175-pound running back and defensive back made his decision official this week.

Williams finished the 2012 season with new school single-season records in yards rushing (2,221) and touchdowns (27).

Defensively, Williams totaled 72 tackles, eight tackles for a loss, two sacks, six interceptions, three pass break-ups and three forced fumbles.

He was named First Team All-Metro Division, Northeast Inland District Defensive Player of the Year and First Team All-Ohio.

Earlier this week, he was named to the roster of the OHSFCA's North-South All-Star Game in Dayton, which will be played on April 27.

WRESTLING

Crestwood High School standout Dylan Kager became the school's all-time wins leader on Thursday.

During the Red Devils' 57-12 victory over Portage Trail Conference cross-division rival Southeast, Kager, wrestling at 138 pounds, pinned his opponent in only 54 seconds to secure career win No. 145 and a coveted spot in the history books.

Last season, Kager set a single-season record for most pins.
