You might have heard of these two players that signed
Alex Kemp and Zach Henshaw on Signing Day
last Friday at Canyon Lake High School.
Alex Kemp and Zach Henshaw took another step for their opportunity to play in College.
Kemp was courted by Mary Hardin Baylor while Henshaw will be up the road at Tarleton State University.
To put these two students in perspective lets run some numbers, just in case you forgot who these two young man were. (The season did end over four months ago)
Alex Kemp was the Defensive End for the Hawks where he finished with the All-Time Record for sacks and a basic disrupter for many of the offenses the Hawks faced in the last two years.
Kemp had 126 total tackles the last two seasons and in his Junior year he amassed nine sacks and 15 tackles for a loss.
Not to be out done, Kemp ended with 11 sacks and 18 tackles for loss his Senior campaign. The two totals are now records left for all the under classman to try and top.
The next closest active player in sacks is Isaac Pruna with four. The record holder going into last season was J. Garrett Groom with 10 sacks.
Pruna will have his work cut out for him in the tackles for loss category as he is also the active returning player with eight tackles for a loss. Needing a mere 25 more to tie Kemp’s record of 33.
Zach Henshaw was a record machine that had an extra jump on any player trying to catch him in yardage gained since he played three seasons for the Hawks.
Henshaw had 300 yards rushing in one game, 2070 yards in one year, and 4329 yards in his career.
