The bell-cow back bludgeoned an overwhelmed North Forney High School defense Friday night en route to a 461-yard performance, according to David McNabb of the Dallas Morning News.

He totaled eight touchdowns in a 56-28 victory, finding the end zone on six of his 24 rushing attempts and adding two scores through the air.

The physically formidable prospect posted six total touchdowns Friday night, beating defenders as a runner and passer, according to Hank Brady of NOLA.com.

Thompson, who tallied 2,760 yards and 40 touchdowns in 2015, rushed for three scores and added another three through the air during a 42-20 win over St. Augustine.

Wedington, who filled the stat sheet last season (2,135 all-purpose yards, 24 touchdowns and four interceptions, per MaxPreps), sprinted for five touchdown runs in a 42-0 victory over Curtis High School.

Martell connected on four touchdown tosses and added another score on the ground, bringing his senior season total to 17 scores through four matchups.

His touchdown runs came from near and far, plunging in four times within the 10-yard line and tacking on another pair from long distance (56 and 87 yards).

His latest offensive explosion included four touchdown tosses—he compiled 360 passing yards on 17 completions—and a rushing score.

When news of Kalem Reddix's most recent performance reaches collegiate coaching offices, it may result in an increased wave of interest for the Mississippi pass-catcher. He recorded 13 receptions during a wild 63-55 win over East Central High School, racking up 214 yards in the process, per Patrick Magee of the Sun Herald.

Reddix reached the end zone six times, scoring on catches of three, 14, 17, 37, 38 and 41 yards. While this was his finest performance of the 2016 campaign, it's been a strong first month overall, as he's collected 12 touchdown catches through five games.

Clemson quarterback and Heisman Trophy contender Deshaun Watson graduated high school in 2014 in possession of Georgia's all-time prep passing record (13,077 career yards), but Bulldogs commit Jake Fromm may soon threaten that mark. The Elite 11 finalist collected 394 yards through the air and seven total touchdowns Friday night in a 63-28 victory over Warner Robins High School, according to Ryan Jordan of Macon.com.
