5'9"??? I've not seen Scott in person and I can't pretend to know how tall he actually is, but that's a 4 inch difference from what has been reported elsewhere. I find it VERY hard to believe such a discrepency could realistically be passed over by others, if in fact he is closer to 5'9". When Farrell speaks, my opinion generally drifts in the opposite direction.

5'9 is a terrible misinformation. He is 6'. Scott's injury isn't really that serious but he is expected to miss the next two games as an fyi.

Odds are anyone reporting he's 5'9 has never stood next to the kid lately. You could even just turn on game film to figure that out. But, not to pile it on, but Farrell is almost as bad as Lemming.

No. 1-ranked St. Ignatius (4-0), the last team to beat Mentor at home in 2006, hardly needs a boost. But three first-half Mentor turnovers were a nice cushion for a team that also welcomed back linebacker Scott McVey, the Ohio State recruit who had been out since the opener with a sprained shoulder.

From the Road...review of McVey's game against Warren Harding, where he didn't fill up the stat sheet like he normally does but was constantly applying pressure...the only knock on him continues to be whether he will have the size to play up at the line of scrimmage in college.

Also some nice comments about Mike Dorsey and Davion Rogers...

St. Ignatius rides turnovers to victory over St. Xavier
Bob Fortuna, Plain Dealer Reporter, October 24, 2009

St. Xavier held a 95-47 edge in rushing yards in the first half, but managed just 31 yards in the second half because of Wildcat adjustments, namely giving senior linebacker/Ohio State recruit Scott McVey more freedom to cause more havoc.

"Scott was coming from more like a safety position in the second half but the other guys also responded well when we called a blitz," said St. Ignatius coach Chuck Kyle.

"Turnovers kind of saved us in the first half," admitted St. Ignatius standout linebacker Scott McVey. "In the second half we were able to do what we had to do."

That they did.

The opportunistic St. Ignatius 3-3-5 defense was once again the key as the Wildcats' built a lead they would never relinquish. Following a 36-yard Franklin field goal, St. Ignatius safety George Newrones picked off a pass over the middle by Massa, who was under intense heat from McVey and fellow linebacker Jake Ryan. Newrones returned it the other way for a 33-yard touchdown and 16-7 lead midway through the third.

The coaches definitely told me to let it rip," explained McVey of his heavy blitzing. "But it's always a challenge going against (St. Xavier blue-chip tackle) Matt James."
