Stay near home or go to a major college far away? The more football scholarship offers Lafayette junior Hezekiah Grimsley gets, the wider his choices become.

Grimsley had 38 receptions for a Bay Rivers District-leading 1,065 yards and 13 touchdowns at wide receiver. He was the district's top punt returner, with a 24.6-yard average and three touchdowns, in addition to intercepting seven passes as a defensive back for Lafayette, which went 12-1 and reached the 3A state quarterfinals.
