“Play through the whistle” to a whole new level 💪 #shorts

Fifteen shorts, one lineman. The week's biggest upload on MaxPreps takes a coaching cliché, "play through the whistle," to what the title calls a whole new level, and its tags point to a big man up front doing the work. It is also the video moving fastest right now, three days in.

The rest of the week leaned funny. A parenting hack from the volleyball stands had the quickest first day of the batch, and a day-old clip titled "Cop wasn't playing" is already running close behind the lineman. There was room for star power too: members of the Cleveland Cavaliers turned up at Walsh vs. Hoban in Ohio, a meeting of two of the state's well-known Catholic football programs, though that short drew a smaller crowd than the one about a receiver named Brysen Wright.

Most of these clips come from someone else's phone and are credited in the descriptions, which fits a channel that has billed itself as America's source for high school sports since 2002. Among the larger American sports channels, MaxPreps sits third by subscribers, while NBC Sports is running at about twice its usual daily pace.
