Record-smashing TXHSFB running back Kenneth Hall dies

Kenneth Hall, one of Texas high school football's most iconic players, has died according to a report by the Houston Chronicle. He was 89.

Known as "The Sugar Land Express" for his spectacular exploits at Sugar Land High School (now Fort Bend Dulles), Hall ran for 11,232 yards during his career from 1950 to 1953, setting a national rushing record that would stand until 2012 when it was broken by future Heisman Trophy winner and NFL All-Pro Derrick Henry. It remains the state record here in Texas, with only two other players — Cayuga's Traylon Shead and Aledo's Johnathan Gray — even eclipsing 10,000 career yards.
