Ben Scott is not sure just what career he may pursue when his college days are finished, but one thing is certain, he's already acting like a man, not a high school-age student.

Last week when Lawton High School's football team was battling Southmoore in a big district encounter, the Wolverines lost a touchdown on a controversial holding call. None of the coaches mentioned the player who was whistled for the call, but when I sat down with Scott for a weekly Wolverine player interview, the senior came right out and shouldered the blame.

"That call was on me, and even though the film showed it was a bad call, I still feel bad," the likeable Alabama native said. "The people here (at Lawton High) have been great about accepting me to the school and the football team and I hated to have that happen, but it just makes me want to work harder to get better and make sure we win the rest of our games."
