Area individual statistical leaders (Nov. 9)
Two different area running backs have been chasing former Conway star Bobby Wallace’s milestones throughout the season.
Now, it appears Carolina Forest’s Dyverse Simmons and Myrtle Beach’s Brandon Sinclair are within striking distance.
With 123 yards in Carolina Forest’s expected playoff game next week, Simmons will become the first area tailback to go for 2,000 yards in a season since Wallace did so as a junior in 2003. The Panthers will discover their playoff opponent on Thursday night, and the brackets will be officially released on Saturday. Carolina Forest is projected to be either a 14 or 15 seed and play on the road.
For Sinclair, he’s 190 yards shy of 5,000 for his career. Myrtle Beach will open the playoffs at home against Dreher on Friday. Wallace was the last area player to top 5,000 career rushing yards. He finished with 5,151 yards before heading to the University of South Carolina.
