Running back Kenneth Burks (Mansfield, Texas/Mansfield) plays every game as if it’s his own personal audition. This year, he’s yet to disappoint in three auditions.
Burks has rushed for 674 yards and eight touchdowns in three games, and he’s averaging nearly eight yards per carry. His latest outing was his best of the year, as he rushed 26 times for 219 yards and four touchdowns in a 63-22 rout against Mansfield school district rival Mansfield Summit on Friday. All four touchdowns were recorded in the first 20 minutes of the game.
“I was just trying to go out and play hard against an archrival,” said Burks, a 5-foot-8, 185-pound running back. “I want to go out with a memory.”
