Gehrig Dieter is named for Hall of Fame baseball player Lou Gehrig, but he is making a name for himself in football.
The Washington (South Bend, Ind.) senior wide receiver and cornerback set a national record Friday night with 447 receiving yards in a 63-10 defeat of Elkhart Central. The old national high school record was 421 in a 2008 game by J.D. Felice of Red Bud, Ark.
Gehrig's national record came three weeks after he set a state high school record with 373 receiving yards (eight catches, including five touchdowns) in his team's opening 46-23 defeat of Class 5A Bloomington North. Last week in a 40-21 defeat of another 5A school, Michigan City, Ind., Dieter came close to that mark with 11 catches for 346 yards and three touchdowns.
"I play with a chip on my shoulder," Dieter said. "I always try to play physical. My greatest strengths are probably my hands and ability to run after the catch."
