Knowing the importance of having a healthy David Gabriel Georges for the playoffs, Baylor football coach Erik Kimrey will limit the senior running back’s carries during the regular season.
Except when a superhero effort is needed against an opponent with similar talent.
Friday was one of those games as the Red Raiders, ranked No. 11 in the latest MaxPreps national poll, traveled to face No. 23 Trinity in Louisville, Kentucky.
With the reigning TSSAA Division II-AAA state champions needing a big second half, Gabriel Georges, who was a MaxPreps All-American as a junior and committed to the University of Tennessee this summer, proved once again why he is arguably the best high school player in the nation. The player known as DGG rushed 26 times for 315 yards and all five of Baylor’s touchdowns in a 35-27 win.
For that performance, the Times Free Press has selected him as its prep football player of the week.
