<p>Yes, all of them. Yes, for the second time this year. The Red Devils have been playing football for a LONG time, so any time "school record" is attached, it's significant. Friday, they ground out 526 rushing yards while smashing Woodruff 59-20. Four RBs topped 60 yards, with <strong>Bryson James</strong> rushing for 194 and <strong>Jishun Copeland</strong> adding 128. Clinton's top four rushers had exactly one negative yard, and the Devils averaged 11.7 yards per carry.</p>
