Central Coast Section: Who Are The Top Five Rushers?

Escort is the leading rusher in the entire central coast section heading into week 9 and stands alone at the top of the leaderboard. He has elite speed downfield, a good initial burst through the first level and can make tacklers miss in the hole with short area twitch and wiggle in the hole. He does a nice job getting behind his pads and looks for contact in the hole and packs a punch for a smaller back. He has amassed 1,871 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns on the year and should end over the 2,000 yard marker.     Monroe has been a frequent flyer on our top weekly performer lists across the CCS and is enjoying a breakout Junior season campaign. He is a very balanced back that checks a lot of boxes for the next level and should draw plenty of college interest here to start the off-season. He has accumulated 1,339 rushing yards and 32 touchdowns on the year and is primed to see his stock soar this winter and spring heading into his senior year.     Jones checks into the rushing rankings as the number three rusher in the section and has been dominating CCS competition for the better part of three seasons. He is a smaller back but runs tough inside, has natural lean and contact balance while showing he can bounce it outside if needed and cutback against the grain while staying behind his blockers. He has rushed for just under 1,100 yards and 18 touchdowns so far in his senior year     Acton checks into our rushing leader rankings list as the number four rusher in the central coast section and has been having quite a breakout season so far in the CCS. He is a true scat back that has multiple gears through the first two levels, can change direction quickly and make tacklers miss in space while showing start/stop abilities in the hole and is tough to take down in one on one situations. Acton has been on a tear in his Senior year and rushed for just under 1,000 yards and 9 touchdowns while being one of the sections top tailbacks.     Bess is one of the best kept secrets in Northern California and is a natural receiver out of the backfield with great open field speed in the clear and a good initial burst through the first level. Bess is twitchy in tight windows and can force poor angles outside the tackles while flashing patience behind his blocks inside and has true home-run speed once he breaks though. Bess has rushed for 980 yards and 9 touchdowns heading into the final two weeks of play and should hit the 1K mark by seasons end and draw some college attention.
