SALPOINTE/CACTUS RECAP AT AZPREPS365.com
The Bijan Robinson watch continues and Robinson is now only 366 yards away from setting a new 4A-6A or “Big School” rushing record. Former Tolleson standout Marcus Thomas graduated in 2002 with 5,878 career rushing yards and Robinson is sitting at 5,512. The overall record of 7,544 career rushing yards held by former (2A) Northwest Christian standout Casey Jahn appears to be safe.
Often compared to former Canyon del Oro standout Ka’Deem Carey, Robinson is closing in even faster on that front. Carey graduated with 5,701 career rushing yards with 82 TDs in 41 games played so Robinson is only 184 yards away and three TDs away after 38 games…
