KAEDEN CORRIE , RB , STURGEON HEIGHTS Last fall , Kaeden Corrie finished the regular season tied for the rushing lead in the WHSFL . What the stats line doesn ’ t show is that he only played a total of five games during the regular season . On a team that only passed for 600 yards , Kaeden average just under 12-yards-per-carry . Week after week , teams stacked the box to defend the run and yet Corrie would still rumble for 200 yards . Serving as the backup running back on last year ’ s U-18 team , Corrie has put in some serious work in the offseason and is bigger , stronger , and faster than he was last season and is now the starting tailback for U-18 . Last season , he had four touchdown runs of 60 yards or more and routinely picks up 10 yards where other backs might be stopped at the line of scrimmage .
“ His rare blend of strength and speed make him a threat every time he touches the ball ,” said Sturgeon Heights head coach Eric Vincent . “ This season Kaeden returns to an offense that has only graduated one starter . Look for Corrie to be the focal point of a run-first offense that has improved its pass game to help share the load .”
