If you follow the Bobcats, here's one to repeat: Central junior Zeyvion Johnson now owns the school's single-season rushing record. He came into Friday's game at Odessa Permian 68 yards short of Daven Manning's 2016 mark of 1,701, and San Angelo LIVE! reports he passed it on a long run near the end of the first half.

“In 108 years of football in San Angelo, for him to be the single-season rushing record holder; a lot of backs have carried the ball many years for San Angelo, and for him to do that tonight, what a great game by him.”
