Here are the top Candidates.

 

ATT Yards Avg TD's

 

Mason Compton (Walton Verona) 127 1101 8.7 21

 

Torrey Cordell (Cooper) 159 962 6.1 8

 

Will Latimore (Walton Verona) 59 934 15.8 11

 

Dillon Powell (Simon Kenton) 132 903 6.8 9

 

Collin England (Ryle) 112 896 8.0 6

 

 

This should come down to a close one.

 

Walton Verona has a bye this week while the other remaining players have a game. The final week they face LCA. I would imagine both Compton and Latimore will have 100+ yards each.

 

Cooper faces Grant County this week which should be a big rushing game for Cordell. The final game is against Dixie which will be tough to run on.

 

Simon Kenton faces Bullitt Central which should allow Powell to pick up some big yards. However with only one game left I don't think he has enough time to take the lead.

 

Ryle has one remaining game with Dixie. I would say he is in the same situation as Powell. Tough opponent and last game to gain some ground on the leaders.

 

With all this said I will have to say it will be between Compton and Cordell. The last week should be fun to see who comes out on top.

 

Great season for all these running backs. Good luck in the playoffs.

Cordell has a legitimate shot, but will have to have two good games rushing. Probably 150 against Grant and at least 100 against Dixie which will be very tough against that defense. Especially if Cooper wins this Friday and are locked into a home playoff game, no need to risk getting him hurt on a short week against Dixie. All of these backs are very talented, and just think, most of them are underclassmen, if not all of them. Don't know about the two from Walton

Will Latimore (Walton Verona) 59 934 15.8 11

 

That is some nice yards per carry for Latimore.

Cordell has a legitimate shot, but will have to have two good games rushing. Probably 150 against Grant and at least 100 against Dixie which will be very tough against that defense.

Mason and Will are both SR's.

Roberto London from Scott would have been in the mix had Scott not had the opening game cancelled. Currently at just under 800 yards rushing in 7 games.

 

To answer the question, it's going to be tough for TCA to catch Compton from Walton, unless he gets a huge game this week against Grant.

Nice year for all of them. Strong RB corp in NKY this year and sounds like next year also.
