Just looking at high school and nothing beyond that.

 

Is it Harris? Is it Shaun Alexander? Is it someone else?

He is in the same conversation with Alexander on the high school level, let's see how college and beyond plays out.

Do you have any high school stats for these top runningbacks?

College and beyond shouldn't matter in this discussion IMO.

Alexander rushed for 6,657 yards and 110 touchdowns in 3 varsity seasons.

Harris currently has 6,419 yards and 107 touchdowns in 3 1/2 seasons.

Which one had the better team around them?

Definitely Alexander. Boone Co. used to be a power in NoKy. I'm not aware that Madison Southern has ever been considered a serious consistent threat for district and region titles.

Shaun Alexander gained nearly every yard against defenses that put 11 men in the box.

Probably fair to say that teams that play MadSo do the same.

I'm thinking there are 11 in the box for Harris also.

Boone also played against better competition. They were a 6A team when there were only four classes, while Madison Southern is a 4 or 5A team in watered down 6A.

There's no way to definitively prove who played against better competition. It's all speculation.

Do we put Derek Homer in the conversation?
