OHSAA football scores | Highland vs Revere high school football recap

Casey Myser has been the man for Highland all season long.

On Thursday, however, Myser had the best game of his career and stamped his name on Highland's record books.

Myser ran for 324 yards and 4 TDs vs. Revere at North Gateway Tire Stadium. Those four scores gave him 29 total TDs in 2024, breaking the single-season TD record set by Jake Rogers in 2018.

Myser's night combined with Highland defense's third shutout of the season to give the Hornets (8-0, 5-0) a 41-0 win over Revere (5-3, 2-3).

"All week, my coaches were telling me I was four touchdowns away from our school record. That was motivation for me all week," Myser said. "All my linemen knew, so they really wanted me to get it. They really were blocking well."

"He's a special talent and a special player," said Highland coach Mike Gibbons. "Obviously, our offensive line and our receivers blocked really well tonight. Defensively, we were outstanding all night long."

It wasn't a perfect night for Highland, as Revere put up stiff resistance early. However, Highland was able to wear down the Minutemen to set up Myser's big night.

"I told the kids 'It's not always going to be easy,'" Gibbons said. "You're going going to clock everyone at halftime. That's not normal. I think [Revere] is very solid. I thought it might be a tough sled in there."

Myser announced his intention with a 61-yard TD run on the opening drive, but Highland struggled on its next two drives.

Quarterback Dylan Borla used Myser as a decoy in the second quarter. His play-action pass left Nick Dobkowski wide open for a 19-yard TD passes.

Myser sandwiched big TD runs around halftime, running in a 31-yard sweep in the second quarter and a busting an 80-yard TD up the gut in the third.

Myser's record-breaking touchdown came on a 1-yard plunge with 4:24 left in the third quarter to engage the running clock. Highland's reserves got in on the fun late, as Dylan Lazar ran in an 8-yard TD in the final minute.

Aside from its first drive, Revere's offense was stuck in neutral all night. Minuteman quarterback Luke Farris went 6-of-14 for 48 yards, while Revere ran for only 25 yards.
