Before yesterday, two high school players were tied for the lead for most sacks recorded in a single game with six; Aaron Marshall of Lane did it twice in the '92 campaign and Jon Kowalshyen of Leyden did it against Willowbrook in '97.

But yesterday, October 17, 2009, Christopher Winston of Perspectives racked up a mind blowing 13 sacks. He finished the game with 18 total tackles. If you do the math, 72.2% of his tackles were sacks.

And on the other side of the ball, Riverside-Brookfield's Mark McDonagh set new state and national records for receptions in a season by ending the day with catch 144 on the year. He topped the record set by Lexington's Eric Schuler (130) in 2006.

McDonagh already has set the state record for receptions in a single game earlier this season when he pulled in 20 catches in the 64-26 blowout of Robeson in Week 3.
