By my tally of the MLive stats, Jackson Northwest senior running back Trevor Boyk finished the season with 1,163 yards on 193 carries (6 yards per carry) and 14 touchdowns.
If his season rushing total is not a school record, it has got to be among the best.
A Northwest football program I have from 1988 lists the season rushing record at that time as 975 yards by Andy Onda in 1971.
Perhaps the Citizen-Patriot (or a generous Internet user with some knowledge) will let us know if Boyk has set a new record. Either way, he had a fantastic season.
Boyk rushed for more than 90 yards in every game but one, Mason (which turned out to be a much tougher team than anyone realized at the time. Mason finished the regular season 8-1 -- its only defeat a 4-point loss to Grand Ledge).
Here is the game-by-game breakdown of Boyk's rushing performances this season. (Click the name of the opponent to see the stats).
Lansing Catholic Central: 25 carries for 91 yards and one touchdown.
Owosso: 22 carries for 240 yards and two touchdowns.
Tecumseh: 22 carries for 165 yards and four touchdowns.
