The Robinson Report: Week 2 Gems from Across Ohio

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Each week, I spotlight the players who turned Friday night into their personal showcase. Week 2 brought fireworks all over Ohio, quarterbacks carving up defenses, backs running wild, and receivers proving unstoppable. These are my Week 2 <em>Gems</em>, the guys who elevated their stock and showed why they belong in the conversation among Ohio's best.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='586096' first='Max' last='Miller'] – QB – Springboro – Class of 2026</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Miller was surgical in Springboro's 38-0 shutout of Edgewood. The junior quarterback threw for 252 yards and three touchdowns on 18-of-29 passing while also rushing for a score. It was his first career four-touchdown night, and his composure in the pocket continues to elevate the Panthers' offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cody Houseman – RB – Springfield Northeastern – Class of 2026</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Houseman has become the Jets' engine. For the second straight week, he eclipsed 200 yards on the ground, piling up 236 rushing yards and a touchdown in a 36-8 win over Riverside. His blend of patience and burst makes him one of the most reliable backs in the Miami Valley.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Xavier Melton – RB – Tippecanoe – Class of 2026</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Melton turned in one of the top rushing nights in the entire state. He shredded Piqua's defense for 272 yards and four touchdowns on just 22 carries. With his ability to hit the home run and grind out tough yards, Melton gives the Red Devils an every-down threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Allen Hill – WR – Youngstown Chaney – Class of 2026</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hill showcased his versatility in a 27-12 win over Struthers. The junior wideout hauled in 4 receptions for 98 yards and 2 TDs while also recording 5 tackles on defense. Hill's physicality at receiver and his willingness to mix it up defensively make him a unique two-way impact player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Anthony Sutton – RB – Athens – Class of 2026</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sutton was nearly unstoppable in Athens' 48-0 rout of Paint Valley. He needed just 10 carries to rack up 206 yards and 3 touchdowns. A long-striding back with elite vision, Sutton has the tools to take over games in the blink of an eye.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
