It's over, folks. This right here has got to be the prep dunk of the year.

The wicked slam you see above was delivered by Greenwood (Miss.) Amanda Elzy guard Rahkeem Lehaman, who flushed home two points with authority and the kind of athleticism that is awfully tough to match.

The dunk in question, as delivered by the senior who currently has scholarship offers from four Division I programs, came during an intra-state face off against Memphis (Tenn.) East High, with the East defenders left with absolutely nothing they could do to limit the damage inflicted by Lehaman to their narrow lead or their collective psyche.

That the dunk came off an utterly botched shake-and-bake with Memphis East heading up the floor couldn't have helped, either, but it was Lehaman's slam which truly carried the day.

As it turns out, Lehaman's athleticism alone wasn't enough to lift Amanda Elzy, with Memphis East eventually edging out a 75-73 victory.

I know you're not supposed to bring a knife to a gunfight, but now apparently you shouldn't wear glasses to a hockey dad fight, either.

Naturally, one Canadian hockey father didn't take kindly to a baby-wielding man calling his 15-year-old son "a midget," so the former confronted the latter -- to which the name-caller responded: "Don't touch me, or I'm going to cave your [expletive] glasses in. You got that?" (h/t Deadspin.) Well, then. That settles that. Or maybe it doesn't.

Video of the confrontation was posted on YouTube, the man who's son was called "a midget" shared his thoughts with CBC Manitoba News and the Lord Selkirk Minor Hockey Association has subsequently investigated the incident.

“His remarks were uncalled for -- completely irresponsible, and for an adult to go on like that, at a kid’s game, is unimaginable,” Chuck Kitson told CBC. “I was intimidated. I was scared. His behavior was as violent and threatening as I’ve seen in any hockey game."

Jason Boyd is the man in question, according to CBC; he's the hockey father who threatened to cave Kitson's glasses in front of who we can only assume was his wife and while holding who we hope is his own baby. Boyd refused comment for the story.

Believe it or not, the story gets worse. According to the report, Kitson's son -- the kid who Boyd called "a midget" -- broke his arm in the same game on Monday at the Southdale Community Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

The Washington Redskins keep releases valiant defensive treatises regarding the NFL franchise’s racist nickname. In each of them, they note how many American high schools are also nicknamed the Redskins.

This is almost certainly the last Cooperstown Central Redskins football team — CooperstownCS.org

There’s just one ironic detail about this latest Washington charm offensive: In the same week that they were extolling the virtues of the Redskins as a nickname, the students of one school whose teams are still called the ‘Skins voted to change their nickname, poste haste.

As reported by the Associated Press, teams competing for Cooperstown (N.Y.) Central High will no longer be known as the Redskins as soon as the school board selects a mascot/nicnkname replacement.

The Daily Star of Oneonta first reported that Cooperstown high school and middle school students had voted to change the district’s mascot.

Unlike the Washington Redskins, Cooperstown Central had more of a justification for naming its teams after a Native American figure. Cooperstown was the hometown of famed author James Fenimore Cooper, who penned “The Last of the Mohicans” among other tomes. As it stands, Cooper’s legacy with the school may not end with the Redskins nickname’s demise.

The AP reported that Deerslayers, Hawkeyes and Pathfinders, all characters in Cooper novels, are the current favored mascots to take the Redskins’ place.

When Schuyler LaRue headed to the Tennessee state wrestling tournament on Thursday, the Maryville (Tn.) Heritage High junior knew that he had a tough road ahead of him. What LaRue didn't know was that the challenges facing him included a spontaneous life saving CPR performance.

As reported by the Nashville Tennessean, LaRue was using the restroom when an older patron at the tournament collapsed and hit his head. LaRue's training as a summer lifeguard kicked in and he immediately stabilized the man and began performing CPR.

"I saw him and thought he was stumbling, and he fell and hit his head," LaRue told the Tennessean.

“I got him in a neutral position and started doing compressions and just did what I needed to do. His pulse went in and out, and I just kept going until someone came in and tapped me on the shoulder and said I’m an [EMT].”

That EMT then took Ron Bussey to the hospital. Bussey is a 68-year-old former assistant under Wilson (Tn.) Central High John Kramer when the duo were both living in Michigan. Bussey now comes to the Tennessee state tournament to support Kramer, who told the Tennessean that his former assistant was in stable condition at a nearby hospital on Thursday night.

A traditional Catholic-backed youth football league in Pennsylvania is finding itself in the midst of a maelstrom of public controversy after it barred a female player who had participated in the association’s leagues for five years. The Catholic league’s reasoning? It has always held that tackle football was too dangerous for a girl.

11-year-old Caroline Pla, a youth football veteran, has been banned from her league because she is a girl — YouTube

As reported by CNN, ABC News and a handful of other Philadelphia and national outlets, 11-year-old Caroline Pla is a devoted football fan in the Phildaelphia area. She first began playing youth football with the Philadelphia Archiocese Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) as a 5-year-old kindergartner and never looked back.

Then, suddenly the Philadelphia CYO decided to give Pla the boot, enforcing a league rule that mandated only male children, like Pla's 14-year-old brother, participate in tackle football. Pla, who now stands 5-foot-3 and 110 pounds, had been an all-star offensive guard and defensive end while playing tackle football for the prior two seasons.

"I was mad," Pla told CNN. “Just really mad that we don't get the same opportunity as boys just because we're not a boy.

"Not only am I not going to be able to play, but girls all over aren't going to be able to sign up. And I don't think that's fair."

Pla is right: The CYO policy isn’t fair. It’s sexist and discriminates against young girls. Yet, because the organization doesn’t receive public funding (CYO relies on donations and funding from an area’s supporting Archdiocese to support its programs), there really isn’t much that Pla and her family can do.

Of course, that doesn’t mean they haven’t tried. Pla’s mother, Seal Pla, started a change.org petition aimed at getting CYO to allow girls to play on its football teams. The Pla petition has received more than 100,000 signatures, yet the CYO organization has yet to budge.

That’s a huge shame both for Pla and the league according to her former coach.

"We didn't make a big deal about [her being a girl],” Pla’s former coach George Reichwein told CNN. "Anyone who went head-to-head with her ended up on the ground. After a week, [her gender] was laid to rest.

"This whole fight is for other people more than it is for her. She's such a caring, kind, well-rounded young lady who's able to put a helmet on, throw a switch and knock you on your butt."

Forget the NHL, one need look no further than high school-aged junior hockey in Canada to see the real big hits.

As dug up by Prep Rally’s brotherly Canadian junior hockey blog Buzzing the Net, the monster hit above comes from a Central Canada Hockey League game in Ontario, where the Carleton Place Canadians were visiting the Gloucester Rangers. The CCHL is a junior “A” league featuring solely players age 20 or younger.

One of those players is Canadians hard charging defenseman Elias Ghantous, who clearly is the best clean hitter the league has seen in some time. In the play above, Rangers star Keegan Rowe was attempting to start a push up the ice by slipping alongside the boards. Ghantous would have none of it, completely obliterating Rowe with a clean bodycheck that sent him sprawling and sent the puck sliding back into the safety of the outskirts of the Canadians’ zone.

That’s where Ghantous’ teammates took over, starting an two-man-up rush of their own that led to a quick goal.

According to Buzzing the Net’s Neate Sager, Ghantous isn’t a scorer (almost at all; he has just two goals in 119 games), but he is such an imposing physical presence that he has already earned a Division I college hockey scholarship. The 6-foot-4 widebody has committed to skate at Robert Morris beginning in 2014.

Pray this story isn't true.

Wake Forest-Rolesville wrestling coach Sam Hershey will seek clarification on the ruling -- Raleigh News & Observer

A North Carolina high school wrestling official issued a warning to a Wake Forest-Rolesville (Wake Forest, N.C.) High competitor for praying prior to a match, eventually costing him a point and leading to a 3-0 loss, according to the Raleigh News & Observer.

As he has done all season, WFRHS junior Nicholas Fant kneeled at the center of the mat for a prayer that lasted all of two seconds before taking onCary (N.C.) High's Corey Daniels in a 220-pound match, the News & Observer's J. Mike Blake reported.

Only this time the referee issued a delay warning, claiming Fant intentionally stalled the match -- despite the fact he stood up prior to his opponent entering the circle and before the referee finished issuing the penalty, according to the paper.

According to the National Federation of High School Athletic Associations, "It is stalling when either wrestler delays the match. This includes straggling back from out of bounds, unnecessarily changing or adjusting equipment or delay in assuming the starting position on the mat." In 2008-09, the NFHS issued 27 pages of guidelines for calling "stalling," and nowhere in the document is pre-match prayer mentioned.

As a result, Wake Forest-Rolesville head coach Sam Hershey plans to seek clarification about the ruling, although he won't officially report his frustration with the official to the North Carolina High School Athletic Association, according to the News & Observer.

To call Mason Gentry’s rise meteoric might be an understatement. In February 2012, Gentry literally couldn’t figure out how to put on football pads. A year later, he’s a signed, sealed and delivered Division I football recruit at SMU.

As noted by the Dallas Morning News, Gentry’s rise may be the most impressive of all the ascension stories in national football recruiting class of 2013. At 6-foot-7 and 260 pounds, Gentry certainly had the size to play major football. Yet, until his senior year he had never had the passion to do so.

Finally, a group of Gentry’s friends convinced him to give football a try, even if it meant going through embarrassing ordeals like learning to put on one’s football pads for the first time.

“I didn’t know how to put pads on or my helmet on,” Gentry told the Morning News. “I had to have my buddies help me.”

In the past, Gentry had focused on baseball, hoping to develop into a super-sized Adam Dunn-like first baseman. The teen had always planned to play out his entire varsity baseball career, yet his success in football was so stratospheric that he eventually agreed to push baseball to the side so he could focus on college football and the additional commitment it will require.

“Once I started figuring out how good I could be, I chose to play football,” Gentry told the Morning News. “Since I’m new to football I chose to focus on just that.”
