Five high school players clear the 1,000-yard mark

The standing as top rusher and top passer of 2008 is turning into anybody's ballgame among Southeast Missouri high school football athletes.

Among running backs, two from the area have cleared the 1,000-yard hurdle after five weeks: Joey Lewandowski of Fredericktown leads all rushers with 1,084 yards, just ahead of M.C. Williams of East Prairie, who has 1,038.

The two seniors faced off Friday at East Prairie in a statistical matchup won by Lewandowski (Lewondowski had 307 yards, Williams had 233).

Three area quarterbacks are also over 1,000 yards: Blake Parr of Kennett leads with 1,531 yards; Kory Faulkner of Ste. Genevieve has 1,252; and Mike Greminger of Valle has 1,001.

I believe Eli Jackson of Sikeston is getting the most out of his touches. He's averaging 9.6 yards per carry. It will be interesting to see how he does against a speedy New Madrid defense tonight for Sikeston's homecoming.
