More running back injuries

Sophomore Javi Sosa was injured in the Yale junior varsity team's 21-6 loss to Bridgton Academy on Sunday as was Tate Harshbarger and Brandis Yarrington.

With the possibility of Mordecai Cargill having to miss at least one more game as he recovers from knee surgery, Yale is getting pretty thin at running back. Alex Thomas and Elijah Thomas (no relation) saw the bulk of work in Saturday's 31-28 win over Columbia while receiver Deon Randall also carried the ball out of the tailback position against the Lions.

Freshman Max Napolitano had two interceptions and John Whitelaw threw a 12-yard TD pass to Beau Palin for Yale's only score.

TV time for incoming freshman

Flipping through the channels, I noticed that ESPNU was rebroadcasting some of the high school football games it aired last year.

I just caught the last few minutes of the Oaks Christian/Skyline game. Oaks Christian senior defensive back Max Napolitano, who will be among the talented group of incoming freshmen, had five tackles and an interception with 49 seconds to play to secure Oak Christian's three-point win. It was the first loss for Skyline of Sammamish, Washington since 2006.

The game will be shown again at midnight on ESPNU. Napolitano is in the white No. 31 jersey.
