According to Max Preps, Hancock County High School has two of the top rushing leaders in the state of Kentucky. Dylan Hubbard (jr.) and Eric Doyle (sr.) are two of the top leaders in the state for most rushing yards. This is a great accomplishment for Coach Morris and the other coaching staff to have, as well as the school. To have state leaders from such a small school shows how hard our team works and focuses on winning a district championship.
Eric Doyle has a total of 688 rushing yards on 56 attempts. He is ranked 3rd in the state according to Max Preps. Eric says “I wish I could be able to beat my brother’s records, but it’s going to be hard.” His older brother Jordan Doyle holds the record for most yards in a season as well as a game. Eric averages 12.29 yards a carrier, and 114.7 yards a game. His longest TD run this season was an 86 yarder against Breck County.
Dylan Hubbard is ranked 2nd in the state but is ranked the #1 Fullback in the great state of Kentucky. He has run a total of 700 yards on 74 attempts. Dylan averages 9.45 yards a carry. Josh Newton the fullback last year, rushed for over 1500 yards for the season. As a cousin of Newton, Dylan had this to say, “I wouldn’t mind to pass that up this year, but I’m just focused on getting wins and letting the yards just come to me.” Hubbard runs almost 120 yards per game, and ran his longest touchdown last Friday against Muhlenberg co. Dylan ran a blazing 94 yarder to the house on the first offensive play for the Hornets Friday.
There is more to come this season for these outstanding football players, and it all comes from the hard work in practice and the support of the fans. The Hornets have a bye week this week, which means they do not have a game this Friday night. So hopefully these two speedsters can get their legs into great shape.
