rees is a good player...but this is the best backfield which contains more than just the running back...Bell might not have no standout that has 1600 yards but with all they share the ball with they by far have the best backfield in 4a and in the moutains...

You might want to check the tapes again on Boyle's backfield. Rees has less than 100 carries on the season. They have other very good backs whose stats (if published) might just rival Bell's.

You also have to remember that the Rebel's run out of a single back set the majority of times. That means that any 2 back set or full house offenses have a "leg up" so to speak in this discussion but doesn't mean it tells the WHOLE story.

When I tried to do some individual game digging on KHSAA, it appeared to me that Bell's rushing numbers were no greater than Boyle's. In fact Bell had one game, maybe 2 under 200 yards. Of course that was because they scored on every special teams and defensive play imaginable. :Thumbs: I'm not sure Boyle has had one of those yet.

I could easily see Bell as #1 but Boyle might be as well. Maybe we'll get to find out later in the year. :biggrin:
