HS player runs for 658 yards.

DELBARTON, W.Va. -- Paul McCoy ran for 658 yards in a high school football game and, believe it or not, might not have set a national record with his feat.

The total tops the National Federation of State High School Association's listed record of 619 yards set by Ronney Jenkins of Oxnard, Calif., in 1995. But high school records historian Doug Huff said Saturday the recognized record is 739 yards by John Giannantonio of Netcong, N.J., in 1950, against Mountain Lakes.

McCoy piled up his yardage on just 29 carries -- an average of 22.7 yards per attempt -- and scored 10 touchdowns as Matewan beat Burch 64-0 on Friday. McCoy racked up 477 of his yards scoring on TD runs of runs, which covered 69, 1, 52, 56, 52, 20, 31, 84, 87 and 25 yards.

He also had a 77-yard TD run called back because of a penalty.

"The National Federation book for some reason does not include that [the 739 yards], and I think the reason is there's a formal process for submitting those things," Huff said Saturday. "This school doesn't exist anymore. The papers recognized it. The school had a special ceremony. It's been in my records for years."

McCoy did set a state record with his 658 yards, and his 10 TDs would tie him with two others for the second most nationally. The record is 12, set by Ken Pearson of Hugo, Colo., in 1930.

McCoy, averaging 345 yards per game, has 1,723 yards and 26 touchdowns this season.

The coach who kept the kid in to run for that many yards should be fired and should not be able to coach ever again. Has he heard of sportsmanship? After being up 30, he should have just started taking a knee. As for the kid, good for him.

After being up 30, he should have just started taking a knee

that is the stupidest thing i've ever heard. if all you're doing is simply running up the gut and the other team can't stop it, there's not much you can do. and just taking a knee early in the 3rd quarter is worse than keeping on with the run. let me guess, what the coach really should have done is tell his kids to hand the other team the ball right? and yes, i have seen things like this before when a team was decimating an opponent.

Touche

That's crazy.

HAHA! 658 yards? wow. Colleges around the country are probably flocking to this guy now!Jrodsly

from the video it looked like he was white so colleges ar probably not looking at him

Nothing Special.  They were probably playing a terrible team and the coach was just running up the score.  If I was the other team I would have walked off the field.bgres077

yea man its over 600 yards!

Running up the score? I could've sworn I saw somewhere that they only scored like 65 points. If I'm wrong I'll shut up.sith_acolyte15

I've seen 70+ once or twice.sith_acolyte15

Yeah, 153 lbs just won't cut for a Div. 1 RB. They could do what they do to many good high school RBs, make them gain some weight and make them play DB. axel360
