Ripley has nothing on Ohio athletes when it comes to stretching the imagination.

On Friday night, Akron Hoban's Tyrell Sutton ran for 505 yards and eight touchdowns in a 61-28 comeback win over Youngstown Ursuline, which led 21-0 into the second quarter.

Sutton scored on runs of 33, 68, 7, 1, 47, 29, 8 and 38 yards. The eight TDs are one off the Ohio record, and the 505 yards is third-best in the state.

''It was one of the most amazing things I've ever witnessed,'' said Hoban coach Ralph Orsini.

Then on Saturday, Sutton's older brother Tony rushed for 286 yards on 28 carries in the College of Wooster's 84-21 win over Kenyon. Tony tied his own North Coast Conference record with six touchdowns and became the Fighting Scots' career rushing leader with 4,247 yards.

For the weekend, the Suttons combined for - can you believe it? - 791 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Speaking of amazing, Cameron Campeau, a 5-11, 205-pound junior, carried the ball an Ohio prep record 63 times for 413 yards as Kettering Fairmont beat Springfield South, 41-34. He ran for six touchdowns and two extra-point conversions, accounting for all but one of Fairmont's points.

Incredibly, Campeau didn't come all that close to the national record. Russell Gunter of Andalusia (Ala.) Straugh carried 72 times for 331 yards in 1986 against Coffey Springs, Ala.

Campeau could have come close to the record, however. He sat out one series in the opening quarter while getting his ankle re-taped, and Fairmont's QB took a knee with a minute to go to run out the clock.
