Momence High is in 2A

He’s not playing against great competition. To put that in perspective, Caledonia won the 2A championship last year.

So to answer your question, I could argue with that. ;-)

good call

but I would still bet the list is really short of Sophomores (even at the 2A level) who racked up 1,400 yds and 24 TDs.

re:Caledonia won the 2A championship last year.

Some lucky team in the Big 10 will feature a starting DT from Caledonia, MN in 2009!

He passes the eyeball test

He looks and runs like a stud. The forty time might be a tad too slow to be considered a top 10 running back, but he has couple of years to improve it. Nobody hits their top sprinter potential when they are 15 years old.

seriously

look at the pic on the Rivals site, the kid does NOT look like he is 15!
