We don't much about Paul McCoy. He's this running back from Matewan High School in West Virginia and probably has a 3.2 G.P.A. and is your brother and your cousin. No idea how he does with the 17-year-old women at Matewan who are also his sisters.
But this young chap sure can rack up the yards. Last Friday night he ran for a record 658 yards and -- get this -- TEN touchdowns in a 64-0 romp over some school called Burch, which, based on the score, must totally fucking suck. McCoy touched the ball 29 times, meaning he averaged over 22 yards per carry.
If you play high school fantasy football (we don't, but those wackos over at the St. Paul Pioneer Press do) McCoy would've had 93 fantasy points the other night. We're pretty sure our fantasy team hasn't put up 93 points total in a week this season. And it sounds like this isn't the only time McCoy's had a big night. He averages 364 yards a game and has scored 26 TDs.
Yep, shoulda gone with McCoy over LaMont Jordan this week.
(If you're wondering about the image, "Matewan" was a major motion picture flick with James Earl Jones and Chris Cooper. It was about union struggles in a 1920s coal-mining town. Probably won a Golden Globe, but that's not confirmed. McCoy, by the way, was not in the movie, but probably has brothers/cousins/fathers who work in the mines).
