There's something special about rushing for 1,000 yards in a season, especially if you do it before the playoffs begin.
There was only one 1,000-yard rusher in the Metro during the regular season this year and he wore uniform No. 20 for the Prairie Hawks.
Keagan Pinter carried the ball 158 times for 1,051 yards for the Hawks to top the chart. Jay Kortemeyer has 979 yards for the Xavier Saints and can reach 1,000 during the playoffs.
Tavian Patrick of Washington (794 yards) and Perrion Scott of Linn-Mar (775) also can reach 1,000 in the playoffs.
Jesse Furrow of Jefferson passed for 1,279 yards to lead all Metro quarterbacks during the regular season. Ryan Schmidt of Linn-Mar has thrown for 1,178 yards and Sammy Lizarraga of Kennedy is next at 1,146.
Here are other highlights from the regular season, compiled by Metro Sports Report contributor Mark Dukes:
+ Xavier led the Metro in every defensive category.
