High School Receiver Sets Receiving Record

And he's dreamy.


The numbers were beyond gaudy: a national record 447 yards receiving and three touchdowns.

"It was fun," Dieter said. "At the beginning of the game I didn't think I was going to get that many yards, but Coach Jones knows my ability to play, just threw it up a whole bunch of times. I came up with the national record.

For the season, Dieter has approximately 30 catches for 1,163 yards and 11 touchdowns.
