Continue ReadingThe Cascades Conference is a conference that is comprised of 7 schools in Jackson County. The Addsion Panthers have won the league the last 3 seasons. Most years the champion changes which is good and shows that the league is wide-open most years. The league has produced many great players and there are great players each year not just on the top teams but on every team.
I was very impressed by the stats that some of the top guys in the league put up in 2021. Many of these guys are returning for the 2022 season. I chose to take a deeper look at the top running backs in the league heading into next season. Just about all of these teams are very run-heavy and rely on their talented running backs to give them their prime offesnive production. Here is an early look at the top returning running backs in the league for the 2022 season. All of these guys will play a huge role in the success of their respective teams next year.
#22 Andrew Stockton | 2023 | Grass Lake | Hudl
Stockton has a great stop-start ability and can easily make defenders miss. He has tremendous vision and almost always knows when to cut and bounce it outside. Stockton makes cuts with urgency and does not have a lot of wasted movements. He has outstanding balance and almost never stumbles. Stockton has the long speed to break long touchdown runs. I look forward to seeing him play next year as a senior.
#5 Keelan Mullin | 2023 | Addison
Mullin was a top 6 rusher in the Cascades conference last year in 2021. He finished the season with 678 yards rushing on 68 carries. Addison had a tremendous rushing attack last year with his other two teammates also finishing in the top 6 in rushing yards in the conference. Look for Mullin to have another productive season and his team to have a lot of success in 2022.
#22 Bart Laretz | 2023 | Napolean | Hudl
Laretz is a physical runner who does not go down easily. He does a great job of getting his shoulders square and getting downhill quickly. He is almost always falling forward and getting that extra yard or two. Laretz shows the ability to return kicks. He was a top 5 rusher in the conference and finished with 704 rushing yards total on 139 carries. Laretz should get be productive once again for Napolean in 2022.
#4 Mitchell Corwin | 2023 | Michigan Center
Corwin was one of the top leading rushers in the conference this year. He rushed for 525 yards total on 87 attempts. He was part of a great football team in 2021. Michigan Center finished the season 11-2 and won the Cascades conference with a 5-1 conference record. Corwin should play a big role and keeping Michigan Center’s success rolling in 2022.
#40 Wyatt Carson | 2023 | Manchester
Carson was the starting running back for Manchester this sesason. He will be one of the key returning players for Manchester football next season. They also return their quarterback Kannon Duffing. They will have their sights set on building off a 3-6 season in 2021.
