Volunteer Commitment Round-Up

High school football is heating up as team's position themselves at runs towards the postseason. Among the highlights, Chattanooga Baylor's Kevin Cooper had a huge night in helping his team to victory and Daryl Vereen once again cracked the 100-yard mark in leading his team to a much-needed win.
Here's a recap of how the commitments did last week.
