The single season rushing record was set by Shane Wolford in 1997. It's somewhere around 2,200 yards in 11 games. He went over 2,000 in the regular season. I think McCoy is closing in on 1,300 for the season, so he's probably not gonna make it. Still a VERY impressive season for him, and he's not finished yet.

Only been 20 years nearly to the date but I think Wolford needed 190 at Point Pleasant week 10 of 1997...I think he got that in first half or very early 3rd qtr. Once he got it he capped it with a 95 yard run and ended night around 355 yards....maybe it was 345 but I believe it was the second highest rushing yard game in JHS history, behind his insane game in 1996 at Logan (384? 378? 374?)

[ironman02]

I think David Swisher was somewhere around 1,700 in 2001.

I think Arthur was close to 1,500 (and might have even gone a little over) in 2010, but Drew Ervin also probably was a little under 1,000 that year too. Thinking Ervin and Osborne were both around 1,000 the following year.

Counting playoff games, I think Humphreys actually did go over 1,500 in 2004, and he was definitely over 1,000 the year before that as well. I think TJ McDonald may have eclipsed 1,000 in 2003 also.

Boggs did have around 1,200 in 1994 as a RB, but didn't amass as many yards in 1995 and 1996 since he moved to QB, and was also sharing carries with Wolford, King, and Smith.

I'm not sure on the exact numbers for Ridge, Bachtel, and even Exline. I'd love to get a hold of stats from Randy Heath or Pete Wilson to see the exact numbers.

This is pretty much in line with what I was thinking. I used to know the exact numbers, but just can't remember anymore.

Thinking Shane ended with like 34 TDs to go with his approximately 2,200 yards. Believe he had around 1,200 and 20 TDs in 1996, but don't remember what he did as a sophomore.

Ridge was definitely over 1800...I wanna say 1854

I think Kevin Baxter in 94 went over 1,000. Mark Hammond, Brian Landrum, Darwin and Kenny Valentine and David Davis likely all beyond 1,000 in a season. Farley went over 1,000 last year

Think Wolford and Boggs around 750 in 1995 and King and Smith near 500.....or was the back after Baxter or was it Baxter that maybe had a good number? Steven Riegel.

II would also think that wolford had alot more carries in them days than McCoy does now, probably only averaging 20 to 22 carries a game for McCoy

He had huge run after huge run, literally every game he'd break a couple long ones. Johnny King and Shannon Smith took a lot of his carries.

Wolford only RB I've witnessed for Jackson with better vision than McCoy

Also Bruce Smith went over 1200 and Cody Huff maybe a few more the following year about 10 years ago

[24sevenfootball]

Yes, I remember but you also got to consider the kind of Oline wolford had. The lineman of that era would have made alot of people look good.

[i83]

Wolfords line was the best but this line not far behind.

Jackson has a very good line now, but it does not compare to then

I agree. I've seen both lines. Eric Davis is arguably the greatest football player to ever play for JHS in my lifetime. He opened some massive holes for Shane Wolford. There is no one to compare to Eric on the current roster.

I agree 1000% Eric was an animal Im not taking anything away from Wolford as he is one of Jacksons best, but that line was amazing

7-1 sounds pretty sweet !
Can the IronMEN go to 8-1 ?

I know its a league game. so i will not poke any fun cause you have to play em. But i would hope so mcclain is horrible.

their defense give up 40 a game average

their offense averages 5.5 points a game

Jackson should have no trouble and should really consider resting their starters

[Ironman92]

There are a lot of things to consider, opponent, score of game, play calls and other weapons. Wolfords line was the best line we've ever had. I've never seen a rb in high school hit a hole faster than Wolford and I never saw anyone catch him from behind either. Wolford was a special special athlete and nothing to take away from.

This year's line has done an excellent job. McCoy is a great Ironmen. Glad we have him!

[doubleplay643]

Good win last night, hats off to the defense shutting down Hillsboro who was averaging around 40. Great effort against a very big power running team.

Should be a relatively easier test next week at home, and then Chillicothe week 10 at home also. Last time Chilli came to town two years ago, a sophomore by the name of Blake McCoy gashed them from 20 out on the second or third play in OT after Chilli had kicked a field goal on their first possession in OT to give us the win.

2 weeks from now will require another great defensive effort against a totally different style of offense. FAC title on the line.

1 game at a time. Jackson lost more players to injuries last night . Maybe get some backup a lot of reps Friday and try and get ready for a rough game the following week .

Jackson will beat Chilli. Logan was down 21 to 14 at halftime before the bottom fell out on special teams. Chilli wants nothing to do with a physical run game. Contain QB 14 and Jackson wins by 14. Don't and it could be a 42 to 35 game. Either way I take Jackson.

you won’t contain #14. I can promise you that. The cavs have played many teams this year better than Jackson
