Trotwood’s Gilbert climbing state record chart
With his 263 rushing yards last night in Trotwood-Madison’s 43-7 second-round playoff win against Turpin, running back Antwan Gilbert pushed his season total to 2,538 yards.
That’s good for 24th place on the list of best Ohio high school single-season rushing performances.
He trails all-time leader Tony Franklin of Bedford St. Peter Chanel by 901 yards. Even if the Rams make it to the Division II state championship game, Gilbert would only have three games remaining. But, after watching him burn the state’s No. 2-ranked team the way he did Friday, it’s difficult to say anything is impossible.
Gilbert can also set an area record with 319 more yards to catch Ryan Brewer from Troy, who rushed for 2,856 yards in 1998 in becoming Ohio’s Mr. Football.
