Mr. Hanky's Christmas Poo High School Football Roundup Part Three

Week four of the high school season has ended.  Before getting to the Top 25, Mr. Hanky takes a look at some noteworthy items about the nation's top running backs.

The nation's #5 (Rivals) running back, Soso Jamabo, had a 484 yard (31 carries)  six touchdown night in a Plano West 63-49 win against Garland (TX) Sachese after gaining only six yards on six carries in the first quarter. Click on his name for highlights.

The nation's #2 (Rivals) running back, Jacques Patrick, became the 4^th florida running back to amass over 6,000 career yards on Friday night. Click on his name for the Orlando Sentinel story.

Unranked Michael Davis of Meigs HS of Pomeroy, OH scored nine touchdowns, in a 79-69 win over (Proctorville, OH) Fairland on Friday night. Yes NINE! He played running back, quarterback, wide receiver, and cornerback during the game. He ran for 352 yards and scored eight touchdowns as a running back and caught a touchdown pass as a wide receiver. Unbelievable, but the 2015 recruit has no offers. Hear that, Vince? Click on his name for the USA Today story.

Meanwhile, in Kentucky.......

Bodacious  Damien Harris  Update

The nation's #1 running back and Kentucky favorite son (Damien Harris) ran for 321 yards on 19 carries and 7 touchdowns, including a 91 yard kickoff return.  He wound up with over 400 all purpose yards. His first touchdown run was for 30 yards on his first carry which was called back due to a Madison Southern penalty. Not to worry, he followed that with a 50 yard TD on his 3^rd carry after getting stuffed on his 2^nd. He added touchdowns covering 53 yards, 58 yards, 8 yards and 31 yards before the first half ended.  He only scored two touchdowns in the second half on a 43 yard run and that 91 yard kickoff return. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Madison Southern beat Lexington's Paul Laurence Dunbar in Lexington 49-35. Read about it in the Lexington Herald-Leader by clicking on his name. Watch video highlights from WLEX TV with Alan Cutler and crew here. His season stats so far this year: 1019 yards rushing for an average of 18/carry.

Kentucky's top target at wide receiver, Tavin (ta-vin with a long "a") Richardson was the go to guy for Byrnes against De La Salle. The Duncan, SC team made the trip out to Concord, CA for a game (ESPNU telecast) with a team who once had a win streak of 151 games. They've made a movie about De La Salle's streak (Standing Tall). Richardson caught 12 passes, including one for a TD. If you watched the game, you heard the announcers mention that some predict he will commit to the Cats. You can read about the game preview here, and the results here.

Until next week, Mr. Hanky says, "Ciao."
