A lot of attention has been on Fairview's QB Ryan Radcliff and his passing career. We all know he is working towards the top of the OHSAA record books. I recently noticed that Ben Wonderly (Fairview's WR) has already topped the all time career TD receptions mark. It was easy math to take his numbers from last year and add this years count. I'm not from the area and I have a few queations:

What grade is Ben? If he is a Senior, does he have touchdown receptions (and yards) that should be added to the numbers I'm providing here? Does anyone know his consecutive games catching a pass?

Ben Wonderly, Fairview 99 catches 1360 yards 13.7 yards / catch

Ben Wonderly is a Junior.
His Freshman stats were 153 yds, 14 rec., 1 td, 1 2pt conv.

For 2007 he has tied the state record with 24 td receptions thru the 9th game.
(He has 26 td's thru 9gms but 1 was a fumble return for a td, and he had an
interception return for a td.)
(He also had 2 td interception returns negated by penalty.)

His career receiving td total is 45.

Your interest in Ben is greatly appreciated and let me know if you need any other stats for Ryan or Benny.

I will try to look up consecutive games with a catch and games with a td catch.

Thanks,

The kid is fun to watch, what an athlete. Every team puts their best defender on Ben and he still gets it done. Looking forward to watching him next year.

So I have based upon this info and the last two box scores: WOW and CONGRATS!!!
