Senior Montel Goods is the top rusher in the Big 8 3A Conference and one of the best in the state.
“It feels great knowing I am one of the best in the conference and the state,” Goods said. “I give credit to my linemen and coaches for my success, because without them, none of this would be possible.”
Goods amassed 1,400 yards rushing and 17 touchdowns through the first eight games of the season. He rushed for 400 yards as a sophomore and 629 yards as a junior.
“I try to do everything in my power to not go down, and I want to get as many yards as possible,” Goods said.
Goods rushed for seven touchdowns and 206 yards on just 14 attempts against Carrboro. When he faced county rival Jordan Matthews, he ran for a career-high 270 yards. Goods says he has plans beyond this season and hopes to play at the next level.
“I constantly want to get better at my game,” Goods said. “I want to be playing college ball somewhere and to continue my football career for as long as possible.”
