Best Running Backs in Eastern Oklahoma

Here's my list of the top 10 running backs in Eastern Oklahoma. Agree or disagree, either way leave a message at the bottom of the story and give me your list. 10. Alvin Everett - Central - Everett is a tough runner who racked up 189 yards last Friday night. His average per carry is 11.1 and he scored two touchdwons. 9. Dalton Irvin - Bixby - Irvin went out in the opener against Jenks and never played a down in the second half. Irvin was on pace to have a great game scoring a touchdown after a Jenks turnover. 8. Dylan Taylor - Vian - Last week Taylor ran the ball only 11 times for 183 yards. That's an average of 16.6 per carry. 7. Jacques Washington - Owasso - Washington gained 128 yards against a tough Muskogee defense. He had a lot of carries, but the game proved he's a durable back capable of taking over if needed. 6. Matt Letney - Victory Christian - Letney could be the surprise pick of the list, but if you watch him play you'll realize he's a tough runner. He averages eight yards per carry and should have bigger games in the future. 5. Darren Pettit - Salina - Pettit had a huge night last week running for 221 yards and two touchdowns. He's one of the best in Class A. 4. Shawn Free - Afton - Free has been a big time player at Afton for a few years now and last week he proved to be a solid back gaining 144 yards and scoring three touchdowns. 3. Drew Molencupp - Glenpool - Molencupp is another runner in a long line of backs from Glenpool. Molencupp ran for 167 yards on nine carries in the win against Berryhill. 2. Jeremy Smith - Union - I know the Broken Arrow defense slowed him down and didn't allow him into the end zone, but he still ran for 92 yards in a tough game. There's a reason he's one of the most highly recruited players in the state. 1. Corey Davenport - Grove - That's right people. The best player you haven't heard of. Davenport is a punishing runner with good speed and a knack for breaking tackles. Last week a ran for 179 yards, two touchdowns, and averaged 11.9 per carry.
