Prep football
658 yards not enough for record

Paul McCoy ran for 658 yards in a West Virginia high school football game
and may not have set a national record with his feat.

The total tops the National Federation of State High School Association's
listed record of 619 yards set by Ronney Jenkins of Oxnard, Calif., in 1995.
But high school records historian Doug Huff said the recognized record is
739 yards by John Giannantonio of Netcong, N.J., in 1950, against Mountain
Lakes.

McCoy piled up his yardage on just 29 carries - an average of 22.7 yards per
attempt - and scored 10 touchdowns as Matewan beat Burch 64-0 Friday.  McCoy
racked up 477 of his yards scoring on TD runs which covered 69, 1, 52, 56,
52, 20, 31, 84, 87, and 25 yeards.

He also had a 77-yard TD run called back because of a penalty.
