Derek Carter – East Liverpool

(vs. Buckeye Local) 17 Rush/217 Yards/6 TD (Broke EL rushing record, and Scores in a Game)

Congratulations to this week’s winners, you have made your family, friends, fans, school, and communities proud! Best of luck this week!

RAYLAND, OH- You could say that Senior Runningback Derek Carter had “A Night,” but then you’d just be scratching the surface. Carter and his Potter teammates got the Blue Train chugging back on the tracks against Buckeye Local to the tune of 49-8.

Carter must be a fan of mp3’s because he broke several records on Friday when he ran for 217 yards on 17 carries which crowned him as the school’s All-Time Leading Rusher with 2,251 (and counting.) That wasn’t all though, on those carries, Carter scored 6 times to break the East Liverpool record for scores in a game. Collectively, the Potters ran for 290 yards on the evening with Devin Toothman running for 44 yards in his own right.
