Almost 1,000 yards rushing

[STINGER]

After only 3 regular season games Hemphill Sophomore QB Justin Twine is at 928 rushing yards on the season.  What is the single season rushing record for a QB in the state of Texas?

State records are not broken down by position. Rushing records are just that, rushing records, be it QB, RB, or WR.

Believe the state record is 4,045 rushing yards in a season set by Kenneth Hall from Sugar Land in 1953

And in only 12 games!!!!

[BADSANTA]

Aledo's Johnathan Gray has 886 yards on 76 carries and 9 TD's so far.

[24 over par]

kid is off to a great start

[Vpirate]

obviously gray's yard are more respectable... he is a runningback playing 5A football... are this QB's yard from scrambling or designed running plays??? how good was that team they beat scoring 77? they are like 3A right?

[Guest Pirate_pride_07]

They have faced Garrison, West Sabine, and Joaquin. I personally do not know anything about these teams. What i think is amusing is in the write up they got on the team previews on here they actually said that Twine might get some competition at QB this year. I wonder if he still has some competition lol  ::)  :D  ;D

Amen, I agree.

[Guest Pirate_pride_07]

You know i'm willing to bet that if Twine had the same program and budget and training and coaches and oppurtunities as gray that he would be just as good in that school as gray is if not better but yet he's doing in with a smaller school and less money. Never doubt a man's skill because of the school he is from or how good the team's he plays against are.

Amen, I agree.
[/quote]It would also make sense to state that Aledo's line is probably MUCH better than Hemphill's thus helping pave the way for Gray, however I am not taking ANYTHING away from Gray he is a phenomal athlete who just broke the all time career TD record.  Ninety percent of the plays that Twine rushes on are designed plays.  Joaquin was sending 3 defensive players after Justin Twine each snap and he still had over 200yards rushing, while his brother that plays RB also had over 200.  If you stick 3 on Justin you're opening the door for his brother Jordan.

Maybe scouts will be at this game friday?

[/quote]Absolutely no need for him to be at another school.  As a sophomore he is already garnering enough attention to get AND is getting the attention of D1 schools.  He's already recieved letters from several BIG D1 schools.

Not hard to do when you rush with the qb 30-40 times a game.

[/quote]He rushed for only 21 times in the game against WS and I am pretty sure he rushed 18-20 times against Joaquin.  He's not getting 30-40 opportunities.

My favorite thing to do on a Friday night is see my COUGARS win.  My second favorite thing to do on a Friday night is see a great football player and an even better football game and it sounds like I will be able to do that in Buna Friday night.  I am looking forward to seeing Mr. Twine showcase his skills and see how the Coogs handle the most explosive offensive weapon they have seen in this young season.  This might prove a really good tuneup, win or lose, prior to playing Newton.  Can't wait till Friday night.

I agree. It's Friday night football at its best. I applaud the Hornets as a team. They may have the Twine's to run the ball, but they are playing as a team. They are restoring the pride in Hemphill. We have a fan section  now instead of parents of band members, players, etc. Sure the Twines are a special pair of athletes, (five boys in the family) but it takes determination from ALL on the team to improve and work hard. Right now it's working. O-Line and D-line... lets go Hornets! Good luck to both teams.
