TWO-TIME RECORD HOLDER

Cherokee ( Iowa ) junior quarterback Tyler Jones broke the state record for career passing yardage—twice. On Oct. 12 he surpassed the 6,813-yard total of St. Ansgar's Matt Sherman (1989 through '92) by a single yard, but his final completion of the game was for a one-yard loss and dropped him into a tie. Jones beat the record for good last Friday, completing 22 of 30 for 295 yards and two TDs in a 22--12 win over Sioux Center.

ELWAY'S NEXT STOP

Jack Elway , a senior quarterback at Cherry Creek ( Colo. ) and the son of NFL Hall of Famer John Elway , gave an oral commitment to Arizona State last Saturday. Sun Devils coach Dennis Erickson was a former offensive coordinator under Jack Elway Sr. , John's father, at San Jose State . With John serving as quarterbacks coach at Cherry Creek, Jack has thrown for 1,677 yards and 21 TDs with only three interceptions this season for the 6--2 Bruins.
