Media surrounding High School Football has said a ton about the excellent quarterback and receiver performances throughout the state championships, though there were also plenty of running backs who balled out last weekend. It's not easy to go over 100 yards in any game, let alone the state championship, but that's what each of our standouts did. Take a look at the 4 running backs who had great nights at Ford Field. Hudson RB <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13367930/Nick-Kopin">Nick Kopin </a> 131 yards and 2 TD's leading Hudson to a 14-7 victory. Kopin has been a great back all season, one of the best in Division 8. Kopin was responsible for all of Hudson's scoring, and also had a big day on defense with a forced fumble, 2 pass breakups, and a tackle for loss. Chelsea RB <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14517039/Trenton-Hill">Trenton Hill </a> Hill had 150 yards and 1 TD on 33 carries in the insane comeback win over Unity Christian. Hill put the team on his back and helped carry Chelsea to a 55-52 state championship win after being down 45-17 late in the 3rd quarter. Unity Christian RB <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/10050709/Drew-Chandler">Drew Chandler </a> 182 yards and a TD on 9 carries, can't get much better than that against the incredible competition. Chandler runs with a rare sense of purpose and determination and he truly did everything he could to help his team on Friday night. It was another excellent performance for him, but still a game he wishes his team could have back. Detriot MLK RB <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16682424/Terrence-Brown">Terrence Brown </a> 113 yards and 2 touchdowns on 11 carries is straight-up elite. King was doing pretty much whatever they wanted all day, and this became obvious after Brown took it 51 yards to the house on King's opening drive. What a season it was for the senior running back, and what a way to end his high school career.
