Hagar Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Some news from down in the swamp area of Texas. This is a quote from the Vidor Vidorian. "On the following play, Haylon Leckelt got the call and gained 14 yards and a spot in the record books as he became the Pirates' all time rusher with 4,494 career rushing yards, eclipsing the previous record held by Tim Hagler since 1982. Calling a time out, players and coaches rushed the field to congratulate Leckelt on his record breaking performance". I would add that Hagler was one of the best backs I'd ever seen play, and was the tailback in an "I" formation, who got most of the carries. Vidor has run the Slot T during Leckelt's career, so the ball carrying is split up much more. Wish I knew his yards per carry average. Still, a note worthy accomplishment. Vidor is open this Friday, and will play PAM next week with a possible District Championship on the line. So Leckelt will have at least two more games to pad that record.

Hagar Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Did find his yard per carry for this year thru week 8, 9.74. (99 carries for 965 yards). Two reasons his yardage is relatively low this year. Primarily, Vidor has four good backs, and quite a few games, all four will top 100 yards, plus defenses key on him. Still, not to shabby. Btw, heard they gave Haylon the ball at the time he broke the record, and he took it into the stands and gave it to his mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allheartnoquit Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Very very impressive. Wonder if he will be playing on saturdays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Very very impressive. Wonder if he will be playing on saturdays? They have him listed at 5'11, 185. I've never seen him play since I follow Evadale now, but they say he's fast and runs thru the line like a 220 pounder. Lamar has been recruiting a lot of local players. I'd think (hope) someone would give him a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
