Best Wisconsin High School Running Back You Never Heard Of?

Unless you're in the Milwaukee area, the name Nate Valcarcel means nothing to you.

Pity.

This Whitnall senior (6-foot-1, 175 pounds) has run rough-shod over opponents this season. Coming off a 31 carry, 386 yard performance (five touchdowns in a 42-35 loss to Burlington), Valcarcel has run for 1,282 yards and 19 touchdowns in five games. Whitnall is a member of the Woodland East Conference.

Heck, he's AVERAGING 256.4 yards a game.

Pretty amazing. Is the single season record in sight? That was set in 2001 by Adrian Davis of Kenosha St. Joseph -- 3,422 yards.

On another state front, saw that Westfield has pulled the plug on it's high school football season, citing low numbers. After forfeiting to Adams-Friendship last week (recorded as a 1-0 A-F win), Westfield will finish the season forfeiting to Black River Falls, Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau & Mauston. Looks like Westfield is yet another candidate to become a co-op team.
