Jason Bainum’s 523 rushing yards in a single game back in 2001 is still the OHSAA record, and it honestly feels like it will stand forever. This dude went off against Clermont Northeastern on September 28, 2001, putting up a number that just screams absolute domination. But wait, there’s more. Bainum wasn’t a one-hit wonder; he owns five other spots on that all-time single-game rushing list, including a ridiculous 498 yards for fifth place. That’s not just a good game; that’s a career highlight reel condensed into multiple legendary afternoons.
The Record Books Are Full of Ballers
When you dig into the archives, some names just keep popping up. Corey Kiner, a Roger Bacon running back from 2017-2020, piled up an insane 772 career points, good for fourth in the state. The guy also snagged 125 total touchdowns in his career, again, fourth all-time. Get this: the records even say he finished high school ranked in four categories despite sitting out 34 quarters, which is like 8.5 games! Imagine what he could have done if he played every single snap. Then you’ve got C.J. Hester, a Wyoming running back who went bananas in 2022, scoring 51 touchdowns and racking up 306 points. That’s a monster season for anyone, putting him tied for fifth and 14th respectively in the OHSAA books. And let’s not forget Austin Fancher from Reading, who dropped eight rushing TDs in a single game against Summit Country Day in 2023, tied for second all-time. Talk about unstoppable!
QBs Lighting It Up and What’s Ahead
It isn’t just running backs making history; quarterbacks are slinging it too. Mt. Healthy’s Jahmeir Spain tossed eight passing TDs against Ross in August 2024, tying him for third in the OHSAA. He also scored eight total touchdowns in that game, showing he’s a dual-threat nightmare. Brady Schmidt from Clermont Northeastern, Key’Sean Torbert from Taft, and J.J. Miller from Williamsburg also each threw for eight passing TDs in separate games, all tying for third in the record books. With these kinds of explosive performances etched in history, you gotta wonder what kind of insane stats we’re gonna see as the next prep season kicks off. Will anyone challenge Bainum’s ridiculous yardage? Can a new QB climb into that elite eight-TD club? It’s gonna be wild to watch the next generation of talent try to rewrite history.
