D’Andre (Dre) Boyd accounts for 618 yards of total offense while having a hand in 8 TDs scored…
You can go a long way into a season before you see the type of offensive fireworks we saw from week-zero’s game between Warren Central and Owensboro Apollo. With the Eagles, now playing in Kentucky’s 6A classification, lighting up the scoreboard for 66-points, and Warren Central putting up 56 themselves one has to wonder why both teams left the defenses back at their respective field houses.
We’re kidding of course. The defenses were at the game. It just appears neither of them elected to play any football.
All of that aside, there were some incredible performances on that football field last weekend. Consider this, the Eagles tailback, Harold Hogg, in 26 carries from scrimmage, gained 192-yards and scored three TDs in route to putting 24 points on the scoreboard (3 TDs/3 two-point conversions) and this article isn’t about him.
How could D’Andre “Dre” Boyd top that you ask? Well, the top-rated Kentucky basketball prospect completed 28 of his 45 passing attempts for 461 yards and 5 TD passes with only one interception. The kid who wasn’t even on the roster in 2018, completed slightly over 62% of his passing attempts for nearly half-a-thousand-yards with 5 (yeah, we said 5) scoring tosses. Don’t know what’s more impressive, the five TD passes or the fact only one of his nearly 50-passes were caught by the wrong team.
On the ground, the kid many believe to be among the very best athletes in Kentucky playing any sport, rushed the football 22 times for 157 yards with 3 TDs. All told, it has to rank amongst the greatest high school performances ever registered on a Kentucky high school field, just as Head Coach Cary Fowler announced on Twitter and told the reporters covering his post-game interview.
All we can say about the performance at KPGFootball is a not-too-clever play on his surname…Boy(d), what a game. Boy(d), what a player! Some performances defy description anyway.
