Top high school football performances of 2018

By Kevin Askeland Dec 27, 2018, 12:00am

Diving deep on the statistical stars of the recently-completed season.

With the 2018 high school football season in the books, it's time to look back at the most incredible single-game statistical performances as reported to MaxPreps.

Among the highlights are a running back that went over 600 yards, a quarterback that topped 700 yards and a game where the two teams combined for 180 points.

A dozen touchdown passes in a game? Yep, that happened.

Don't expect to see anything approaching these numbers during college football bowl season.
