For 72 years, the Texas high school football’s all-time single season rushing record held by Kenneth Hall of 4,045.

A record that has stood the test of time since 1953 has finally been broken as Texas Tech signee Kaegan Ash broke the mark in Friday night’s UIL Class 2A, Division II playoff game between Mount Enterprise and Bremond.

At the time of Ash breaking the record, Mount Enterprise had a 44-28 lead over Bremond, with the running back totaling 319 yards of offense.

Ash entered the night with 3,793 yards after rushing for 420 and six touchdowns in Mount Enterprise‘s 74-46 UIL Class 2A, Division II playoff victory over Overton last week.

Another record Ash has broken this season that’s been standing since the 1980’s is that of former Sheridan (IN) running back Brett Law, who scored 453 points back in 1988. Ash ended up surpassing Law’s record and now sits with 476 points and counting as Mount Enterprise continues to make their playoff run in the Class 2A, Division II playoffs.

The senior running back has signed with Texas Tech to play linebacker and Ash has also played plenty of defense for Mount Enterprise this season. Ash on the defensive side of the ball entered the night totaling 89 tackles, 19 going for a loss, 6.5 sacks and five forced fumbles.
