Last season he helped Clarksville repeat as the state 4A champion. Now competing in Class 5A, the Panthers were 16--3 at week's end, and Dederick was scoring 17.9 points per game and has 2,559 career points. He will play for Oral Roberts next season.

The North Coast Athletic Conference defensive player of the year and an All-America, Eaton is also the Yeomen's alltime sacks (36½) leader.

Her victory helped Clemson's women's team retain its No. 1 ranking from the USTFCCCA. Rollins, who won a national title for the 60-meter hurdles in 2011, advanced to the 100 hurdles final at last summer's Olympic trials and finished sixth. She is a three-time All-America.
