Derrick Henry's insane high school record broken by Florida HS running back image

Derrick Henry may have put together the most legendary high school football career of all time.

But there's one record that no longer has his name next to it.

The NFL superstar, until Friday night, held the Florida high school football record for rushing touchdowns in a single game, with seven.

But a sophomore named Xander Edwards just ran for eight.

Edwards plays for The Bolles School, a private school in Jacksonville.

On Friday night, Bolles had a wild 73-48 win over Baldwin, and Edwards couldn't stop scoring.

Edwards entered the night with 12 rushing TDs on the season, and now he's got 20.

Henry still holds all sorts of Florida high school records, and most of them will probably never be broken.

But on this Friday night, Edwards crossed out Henry's name in one section of the history books and wrote his own.
