Couple of milestones for UConn commit

St. Paul senior quarterback and UConn commit Logan Marchi became the second Connecticut player to throw 100 career touchdowns and had his first 100-yard rushing game in last night's win over Sacred Heart.

Marchi also joined Cochran as the only state players with 9,000 career passing yards.Of Cochran's records that Marchi is closing in on, the one he figures to get to first is for most career completions as he needs 46 to match Cochran's mark of 635.

Fellow UConn commit Arkeel Newsome saw limited action last night as he rushed three times for 103 yards and two touchdowns and returned a punt 79 yards for a score in a 41-7 win over Watertown.

Newsome extended his state records for career rushing yards (8,823) and touchdowns (153).

Newsome passed NFL career rushing leader Emmitt Smith in career rushing yards and according to national high school football record book he is 17th all-time nationally in career rushing yards, sixth in rushing touchdowns and fifth in total touchdowns.
