High School
The Small Town Star Chasing TXHSFB's Unbreakable Record
Ozona Lions star running back Christian Villarreal is chasing more than Texas High School Football Hall of Famer Kenneth Hall's single-season rushing record.
Christian Villarreal is a kid you’ve never heard of, from a town you’ve never heard of, who is on pace to break Texas high school football’s unbreakable record.
The stats are mind-boggling. Villarreal, a senior running back from Class 2A Ozona, has rushed for 1,772 yards and 23 touchdowns in five games. He averages 17.9 yards per carry and 354.4 yards per game. If he keeps this pace, Villarreal will rush for 4,253 yards in 12 games, which would surpass Sugar Land quarterback Kenneth Hall’s 4,045 yards in the 1953 season, the only player to ever hit the 4,000-yard mark.
