What’s Next: State Title Game & 4,000-Yard Chase

Rising Challenge: Facing Riverside Academy’s Defense

Simon will have a tough task against a Rebels defensive unit that has only given up a total of 134 points on the season (10.3 points per game) through 13 games.

However, if Simon can rush for at least 235 yards, he would topple the 4,000-yard mark on the season. According to the record books of the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), only seven other high school football running backs have ever rushed for 4,000 yards in a single season.
