McDowell quarterback A.J. Fenton made big news Tuesday by verbally committing to Wisconsin for next season.
Fenton, a 6-foot 2-inch, 210-pound senior, received scholarship offers from Illinois, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Indiana, Stanford, Maryland and a number of Mid-American Conference schools. He also visited Michigan, Ohio State and West Virginia but did not receive offers from those schools.
Fenton's decision wasn't the only sports news around District 10 on Tuesday. Read some more highlights...
