A terrific trifecta of former OC prep sports studs were at their dazzling best on the college and pro football field over the weekend.
Let's take a gander at the goods;
Kevonte Martin-Manley (Birmingham Brother Rice) – The Iowa wide out returned not one, but two punts back the house for touchdowns in a span of less than 90 seconds Saturday afternoon, racking up an opulent 185 total special teams yards (2nd most in school history) in the Hawkeyes 59-3 clobbering of Western Michigan.
Matt Wyman (Bloomfield Hills Andover) – The feel-good story of all feel-good stories, Wyman, who was a soccer player in high school, not a football player, kicked an unbelievable 52-yard field as time expired in the Kansas Jayhawks 13-10 downing of Louisiana Tech Saturday. Walking on to the Charlie Weis-led club during spring practice and winning the placekicking job in training camp, Wyman has been ON-THE-MONEY since assuming starting duties. He also booted a 40-yarder earlier in Saturday's game
Dion Simms (Orchard Lake St. Mary's) – This Michigan State alum and Miami Dolphins rookie tight end made sure his first NFL touchdown was a mighty impressive and important one. Cut to: Sims making a highlight-reel one-handed grab with 38 seconds left to lead the Dolphins to an upset 27-23 victory over the Atlanta Falcons - cue Sportscenter and NFL Primetime Best of the Weekend packages.
Martin-Manley and Sims were all-state hoopsters in high school as well in their time putting in work in the OC.
