Tuesday Night Highlights...the Year of The RUSH

Pleasanton's 5000 Yard Sean Campbell

Tuesday Nights Highlights............

Two more Nebraska High School Football running backs joined the very exclusive 5000 Career Rushing Club Tuesday. Chad Campbell of Pleasanton rushed for 166 yards against Sargent to go ever the magic mark and now stands at 5,083 yards. Campbell will continue his season next Tuesday with a game against Hayes Center. Alex Dose overcame season long injuries and a stout Ewing defense Tuesday afternoon to rush for 71 yards and vault over the 5000 yard mark, ending his illustrious career with 5,017 yards. Two other runners have already eclipsed the 5000 career mark earlier. Clint Belina of Howells, last year's State Rushing Champion, and leading returning 8-Man rusher in the United States, rushed for 290 yards last night and increased his career total to a whopping 6,071 yards! He has rushed for 2,091 this season so far and has notched his second consecutive 2000 yard year. Chad Koch of Hartington Cedar Catholic ran for 263 yards Tuesday and increased his career total to 5,580 yards and upped his season mark to 2,200 yards.

These 4 backs are in an elite group of only 26 runners in the entire history of high school football in Nebraska who have reached this milestone. Here is where they currently rank in history for Career Rushing:

Clint Belina - 4th (28 away from Mike Brower of Fillmore Central)

Chad Koch - 9th (37 yards behind Tyler Paulsen of Dodge)

Sean Campbell - Pleasanton - 19th (31 yards away from Kevin Bretschneider of Pierce)
