ESPN Breaks Down the Top-20 Schools in Four Regions: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=3523581&campaign=rsssrch&source=espn
No surprise that Don Bosco Prep is atop the East rankings.
The Metro Mayhem area schools, with location and hometown include:
5. Quince Orchard (Gaithersburg, Md.) 14-0
This team is dirty. And there's no reason they should lose again in 2008. *Nugget: No Maryland team has gone 14-0 in back-to-back seasons since Seneca Valley in 1997-1998.
7. DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.) 10-2
The Stags lost 13 Division I signees from last season, but still have starting quarter Tommy Chroniger. They reload.
9. West Springfield (Springfield, Va.) 10-3
West Springfield will be good, but they are no show-in for the Northern Region title. If they don't have Bryn Renner, they aren't even sniffing the top-50, much less the top-20.
13. Good Counsel (Olney, Md.) 10-2
Jelani Jenkins will have to carry to team, which only returns 12 starters. They did beat DeMatha last season.
18. Stone Bridge (Ashburn, Va.) 14-1
Stone Bridge is overrated, mostly because they play in the Division 5 playoffs, and not against the big dogs. They'll still miss Jeron Gouveia.
By the way, the East represents Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia.

11:30 A.M. — Jason Ankrah Video
Washington Post video on Quince Orchard defensive end Jason Ankrah: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/video/2008/03/12/VI2008031202302.html
Jason Ankrah, a 6-foot-4, 245-pound specimen helped Quince Orchard to a 14-0 state championship season in 2007, and is one of three Cougars to have a slew of offers. Some schools, as reporter B.J. Koubaroulis mentions several times, include West Virginia, Tennessee, Virginia Tech, Michigan, Nebraska, Maryland and Illinois.
Coach Dave Mencarini is all over the mention, going from "he's got a long way to go" to "he will make a good college football player" to the tried and true cliche, he's got "tremendous upside."
Dude runs a 4.7 40-yard dash. I'd say he's a little more than "tremendous upside."
