The top 8 performances from Week 8 of the high school football season

Oct. 18—A look at the top 8 performances in Week 8 of the high school football season:

—Zach Reiland, Kingsland: What a way to close the regular season for the Kingsland senior running back and the Knights’ offensive line. Reiland ran for a school record 366 yards and five touchdowns, and had a 45-yard receiving touchdown. He was a yard away from a sixth rushing TD; he broke loose at the end of the game, but took a knee at the 1 so Kingsland could keep the football and run out the clock.

—Calvin Nelson, Red Wing: The Wingers’ QB had a monster game in a narrow 49-39 loss to Lake City. Nelson was 15-for-31 passing for 472 yards and four TDs. He also ran for a TD.

So it’s fitting that the Chatfield star did it against the Bombers in the Gophers’ 40-8 victory. Carrier ran just eight times, but he turned those carries into 208 yards (26.0 yards per attempt) and three touchdowns.

—Camden Hungerholt, LeRoy-Ostrander/L-P: Jaw-dropping performances are just routine now for the Minnesota State University, Mankato, commit. Hungerholt closed the regular season by completing 11 of 12 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns in the Cardinals’ 58-8 win against Lanesboro. He also ran seven times for 187 yards and three touchdowns — that’s 420 total yards and five TDs. The 3.9-GPA student who runs a 4.59 40 finished the regular season having accounted for 3,181 total…
