trublue 939 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Posted: Thursday, October 29, 2015 12:10 am Setting records: Blankenship runs for 335, earns Player of Week honors By BRIAN WOODSON Above link rest of the article.... excerpt: RICHLANDS, Va. — Nick Blankenship had a visitor earlier this week at a Richlands football practice. It was Jackie Mabe, who had held the mark for most rushing yards in a game for the Blue Tornado since 1972. Not anymore. Mabe congratulated Blankenship, who not only broke his mark of 285, but shattered it with 335 yards on 26 carries. He also scored three touchdowns in the Blue Tornado’s convincing 56-21 win last Friday over previously unbeaten Abingdon. “It was a great night,†said Blankenship, who also broke a school record with a 97-yard run from scrimmage, which resulted in one of those touchdowns.

Mountain man 121 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Congratulations to this young man. He and his family have taken heat for a very tough decision. He has worked hard and plays harder. Would love to watch him on Saturday in the future. Just not against my Falcons, thank The Lord BlueRazor, EHC87 and Ryan4VT 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHC87 60 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Mountain man, I think you would agree with me that Emory would be a FINE place for Blankenship to play on Saturdays! Would love to see him there next Fall. Unfortunately, I saw more of him than I wanted last Friday :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hats off to this young man for putting up numbers like that against an unbeaten team. I know it is kinda hard to get in the spotlight for Richlands with having one of, if not the best quarterbacks around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
