There are many hallowed halls in major college football.

Notre Dame Stadium is certainly amongst the premier places in the United States for major college football.

Last week, an Ohio Valley native got to experience it up close and personal.

Madonna graduate Ross Comis made the most of his opportunity when called upon for Massachusetts.

Comis, who led the Blue Dons to a West Virginia Class A State Championship, came into the game for the Minutemen when the game got out of hand in the fourth quarter and was impressive.

The red-shirt freshman completed all eight of his passes for 69 yards and he threw touchdown.

UMASS’ starting quarterback is Blake Frohnapfel, whose father, Steve, is a St. John Central graduate. His grandparents still reside in Colerain.
