Ace Wales- "It is not fair that he is setting the record and it is a sham. Wales
has had tons of D-1 talent around him that has made him look good. Additionally his team plays 15 games every year instead of 13!"

Derek Homer- "His record is a sham! He got every single carry! If he had to play on a wishbone team like Jude with 4 legitimate running threats he wouldn't have nearly the yards!"

Jeremy Britt- "This record is a farce! He started his career at a 4A school and transferred to a 1A school... he was used to 4A competition and when he started playing these 1A teams lucky to dress 22 players total he had an unfair advantage. He wouldn't have this record had he stayed at a 4A school!"



See what I did there? All arguments are asinine and quite frankly would reap of sour grapes. Anytime you see crazy statistics at the HS level, there is going to be an advantage that led to this occurring that can be pointed to (even if it is a stretch). We aren't judging him to be the best RB of all-time...we are judging him to be the most productive..... HUGE DIFFERENCE. If that were the case we would require a perfect scenario for someone to set this record solely playing a GCL type of schedule, with an average offensive line, getting only 20-25 carries a game, and never seeing a touch when their team is up over 4 TD's, and play on a team that has a 50/50 balanced offense.


When someone posts "Who is the Best Back of All-Time", then you can argue away... but as it stands now it smells of being petty and wanting to flame when a young man who has busted his ass has his rightful time to be celebrated.

Like your response.

However Danville was 2A, not 1A, when Britt transferred to the Admirals. Just thought I'd point that out. :Thumbs:
