Top rushers in the county with 800-yard (or more) seasons. The numbers are taken from verifiable sources when possible (coaches, record books, media etc...) but when I'm not fairly positive of the soucre there is an * by the name. If the numbers can be confirmed the * will be removed.
Obviously this list is greatly incomplete. If you know of other 800-yarders then email, mail or call me.
Note: Dave Gaffey's career rushing total is - 4214 yards (42nd in the state). Other than his senior season I do not have his yearly stats.
