Unchained Posted July 16, 2025 Report Posted July 16, 2025 Many talk about PV vs Burton in the Jones-Sensabaugh war where they combined for about a million yards, as well as the 452 Lee's Tyler Graham put up in a wild loss at Central, but in all my years of watching high school football, the most impressive game I have ever seen came from an unheralded Thomas Walker LB and he was so good that night in roughly 6 quarters at the Burton Jamboree even all these years I still remember his name. Stephen Susong. He was a heat seeking missile who flew to the football and made more individual tackles and TFLs than any player I have ever seen at the high school level. To be an LPD guy and seeing so many greats from PV,Appy...etc to be as impressed as I was still a big deal. Had that young man played on a better team, he could have played anywhere and next level. What/who stands out to you? Quote
cityofRaven Posted July 16, 2025 Report Posted July 16, 2025 Steve Dye for Richlands, 1994 v. Lee High. I'm pretty sure it's still the school record: 384 passing yards and 6 TDs, no INTs, in a 48-45 loss that was redeemed two weeks later in the Region IV semifinals, 66-23.

St. Paul Deacon Erik Short threw for over 500 in a wild shootout loss to JJK. Another memorable effort. Quote
Football is Cool Posted July 17, 2025 Report Posted July 17, 2025 One that I saw in person, nephew was playing for Wise Central at the time. Tyler Graham from Lee ran for 499 yards in a loss! I believe final was 51-50 warriors. Quote
Real Sasquatch Posted July 17, 2025 Report Posted July 17, 2025 Stephen People's setting the VHSL single game rushing record vs Graham in 2014. Over 500 yards That Graham defense couldn't catch a cold, but still a great performance rvtne216, Bluefield researcher and wdr31 2 1 Quote

One that stands out for me was Brannon Breeding in 1992 state semifinals vs Salem for 46 carries and 229 (?) yards. Ahmad Bradshaw vs Vic Hall-led Gretna playoffs. I don’t recall stats, but he did everything except drive the team bus. There may be more impressive performances, but I’m limited to what I witnessed in person. Clements vs Union on NFHS also ranks up there. cityofRaven 1 Quote
