Deaf School Fullback Nearly Doubles Howe's Ahearn in City Prep Grid Ratings

The rest of the field might as well give in to the Deaf School's Jerry Moers as far as the city scoring race is concerned, but Southport's Jack Hall will have to make a fight of it before the county prep grid season is over. Moers tacked on 14 more points yesterday as the Deaf School dropped Sacred Heart 21 to 12, pumping up his total to 84 points in only six games.
