Greatest PA High School Backfield of all time
Posted: November 4th, 2004, 12:44 pm
Bishop McDevitt 1985'
Three D1 backs in the same back field. YIKES!
Ricky Watters Notre Dame
Sean Barowski PSU/ Syracuse
Jimmy Bryant Ohio State
QB Tim Madden completed 63 percent of his passes for 1,017 yards and 20 touchdowns, while throwing just one interception all season. Tailback Jimmy Bryant rushed for 1,375 yards and scored 19 touchdowns while averaging 8.7 yards per carry. Fullback Sean Barowski also cracked the 1,000 yard barrier, averaging 7 yards per carry and bulling his way to 21 touchdowns.
The Senior trio was devastating enough, then blend in slick junior Ricky Watters, who returned two kickoffs and four punts for touchdowns, scored 15 TD's all together, and rushed for 539 more yards at close to seven yards per carry. They were the flash in an offense that scored 478 points, shattering the old school mark of 263. Racking up 4,448 total yards (381/game) and nearly 40 points per game. McDevitt went 11-1 and won the District 3 AAA Championship. The Crusaders waxed Cumberland Valley 49-14 to win Mid-Penn Division I, then crushed Dover 49-13 and shellacked Conestoga Valley 35-7 to claim the District crown.
