HEAD TO HEAD Matchup of the week: CHRIS FROME Hart Defensive tackle JAMES BONELLI St. Bonaventure Offensive tackler Whether you're a University of Notre Dame fan or just a football fan, this matchup is attractive. Frome and Bonelli have committed to the Fighting Irish, meaning they'll be knocking heads at practice in South Bend, Ind., the next four years in practice as teammates. Each would like to have bragging rights with a victory by their high school team on Thursday. Frome is a big (6-4, 250 pounds), physical, tenacious lineman whose motor never stops. He can bull rush on pass plays but is equally effective on run stops and chasing plays sideline to sideline. He combines physical gifts with a great feel for the game, and if he's allowed to make plays, the Hart defense will have a better chance of containing St. Bonaventure's record-breaking RB Lorenzo Booker. Of course, Bonelli, a 6-6, 300 pounder, will have a big say in Booker's success. He's a gifted, agile athlete with a wide body, good feet and quickness. If he can extend his hands on Frome and keep his feet moving, he might be able to nullify nul·li·fy tr.v. nul·li·fied, nul·li·fy·ing, nul·li·fies 1. To make null; invalidate. 2.
