RE: Top Ten Running Backs from the Triangle of all Times
Toddler, great list there although I never saw Worley play in HS but from reading the stories sounds like he was a beast.
Funny (well not really that funny) story...A buddy of mine was playing DB weighing around 140 lbs for Rocky Mount and they were playing Tarboro back during K Bryant's jr year. K Bryant busted one up the middle but had lost his balance stumbling for yards. My buddy stuck his leg out to trip him up. He made the tackle, but Bryant's helmet hit his lower shin and snapped his shin (tibia) in half. Tough way to end my friend's sr year as that was the first game of the year too but at least he has a battle scar from playing against one of the best ever.

He are a couple from the past and the land just outside the Triangle.
Walter Eason- Erwin Redskins mid-seventies, led Erwin to the state championship game
Wayne McLean- Lillington Cavaliers, same years as Eason, went on to play at NC State and start his senior year

How did this thread happen and Cory Hunter only got mentioned once. 2nd most single game rushing yards..... Over 6500 career yards maybe even 7. And close to or over 100 career TDs. Dude was incredible

Brian Caldwell on Northern Durham was a beast. Sadly his life ended yesterday in an automobile accident in Durham. RIP Pep.
