Top Performing Running Backs In Week 1

It is almost time for the second week of the regular season of high school football in Indiana. But before the ball is kicked, we will take one more look back at some of the top performances from Week 1. Today, we evaluate the games that some of the top running backs in the Prep Redzone Indiana prospect database had. These players had electric starts to their seasons. All of these student-athletes will be hoping for bigger and better in Week 2. [player_tooltip player_id="185209" first="Noah" last="Mungia"], 5’10, 180 pounds, New Prairie, Junior Scoring a touchdown just once creates a feeling of invigoration. Now, imagine how ecstatic one must feel after scoring five touchdowns in a single game. [player_tooltip player_id="185209" first="Noah" last="Mungia"] knows that feeling well as that is exactly what he did in Week 1. Mungia found the end zone on five separate occasions. On top of that, he amassed 324 rushing yards. Mungia averaged slightly under 10 yards per carry. He was the workhorse running back, carrying the ball 33 times. At one point, Mungia managed to rip off a 41-yard run. [player_tooltip player_id="39063" first="Colin" last="Price"], 6’1, 190 pounds, Zionsville Community, Senior [player_tooltip player_id="39063" first="Colin" last="Price"] started off his senior season with an even 200 yards on the ground last week. Similar to Mungia, Price saw plenty of action, carrying 28 times. But when your running back is averaging over 7 yards per carry, why not? Price scored two touchdowns. His longest run was a crucial 30-yarder. If [player_tooltip player_id="39063" first="Colin" last="Price"] can keep this pace up, Zionsville Community will have a good shot at returning to Lucas Oil Stadium this year. [player_tooltip player_id="97999" first="Lavarion" last="Logan"], 5’11, 205 pounds, Merrillville, Senior [player_tooltip player_id="97999" first="Lavarion" last="Logan"] is a pivotal player on both sides of the ball for Merrillville. He is a top-tier running back and linebacker. In Week 1, what he did in the running game was nothing shy of sensational. Logan rushed 24 times for a total of 186 yards. 44 of those yards came on what was his longest run of the evening. Logan averaged almost eight yards per carry last Friday. Even more impressive than that is the fact that he scored three touchdowns to begin his final season in a Merrillville uniform. [player_tooltip player_id="189129" first="Anthony" last="Schuh"], Triton, Sophomore [player_tooltip player_id="189129" first="Anthony" last="Schuh"] is another talented two-way player who also plays linebacker. Considering that he is only a sophomore, what he did in Week 1 must have given Triton fans plenty of excitement. Schuh toted the ball 25 times. He gained 155 yards on the ground and he had a great average of over six yards per carry. Schuh picked up a monster 51-yard gain. He went to the house two times, setting the tone for what could be a brilliant second season for him at Triton.
