The area's top 10 players are on stage all season long, on the field and in The Plain Dealer's 10-week Gridiron Hero contest to determine Northeast Ohio's top performer.
Their skills playing the Guitar Hero video game don't factor into the competition, although you can watch video clips of every Gridiron Hero contender playing the game online at cleveland.com/gridironhero. It's all about how they perform on the gridiron. And it's all up to you.

Two-a-days under way and coaches plan different openings, Terry Pluto writes

It's time for sweat-soaked double-sessions...
Time for some nervous high school freshmen to put on shoulder pads...
Time for seniors to realize that this season may be the last year for them to experience the heart-racing, stomach-tossing that comes when running out of the stadium tunnel to a tune blaring by the band under the glare of Friday Night Football Lights...
Mentor football player Travis Moss, front, works out with fellow linebackers during a drill Thursday as Mentor's two-a-day training camp began. Watching from the right is linebackers coach Jim Funk. Training camps started opening at high schools across Ohio today.

Friday July 25, 2008, 6:31 PM
The Kirk Herbstreit Varsity Football Series will not feature a Cleveland-area team next month, a situation that Herbstreit hopes can be avoided in future years.
"We'll continue to try to welcome [area teams] any year and every year," Herbstreit said during a press conference touting the event on Friday at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati.
Herbstreit, an ESPN college football analyst and former Ohio State quarterback, began the series featuring premier high school teams in 2005. It has grown from a two-game event to the 15 games that will be played Aug. 30-31 at Paul Brown Stadium, Canton's Fawcett Stadium and Texas Stadium in Dallas.
Northeast Ohio high schools struggle to deal with rising travel/fuel costs for athletic teams

As fuel costs rise, so does the price for busing high school athletes to sporting events, prompting some area schools to consolidate and, in some cases, cancel trips to save money. And the surge could affect postseason tournaments in the upcoming school year.
The Ohio High School Athletic Association has formed a committee to begin discussing the issue in the fall. The committee will examine all travel associated with sectional, district, regional and state tournaments to determine if there are better ways to assist schools and fans, OHSAA assistant commissioner Bob Goldring said.
"Some OHSAA district athletic boards are already making some tournament format changes to help cut down on travel, and I know some schools and leagues are also looking at changes in their travel policies," Goldring said in an e-mail.
Local Northeast District officials are discussing sectional tournament format changes for volleyball and boys and girls basketball but say there are no easy solutions.
