West York’s Brandon Real looks for running room against Littlestown this season.The senior holds several YAIAA rushing records. Background posts: York County Tech sports: ‘If they took something like that away it really would destroy the school’ <\/a> and ‘When people are looking back into Pa. basketball history … it’s great’<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Has West York’s Brandon Real scored the best season ever for a YAIAA running back?
\nYork Daily Record Sean McLernon has posed that question in a Line Up Card blog post<\/a>.
\nHere’s a quick look at Real’s stats, according to McLernon and newspaper reports:<\/p>\n


\nTouchdowns, 2008 season<\/strong>: 51.
\nCareer touchdowns<\/strong>: 69 (area record beating Littlestown’s Jeremiah Collins’ 67).
\nYards rushing, 2008 season<\/strong>: 2,513 (on 252 carries, bettering Jason Jarvis, New Oxford, 1996, who rushed for 2,200 yards).
\nSingle game high<\/strong>: 407 yards (topping Dallastown’s Chris Moore, 336 in 1998, and Tracy Smith, 317 in 1983).
\nSean McLernon asks his readers – and I do the same here: Does anyone want to argue for a better local prep football season than that put forth Brandon Real?
