Can that be right Gaston Miller for Riverdale is averaging 19 yards per carry?

You better believe it buddy and dont expect nothing less tonight. Each of the last 2 games he has taken his first handoff the distance. He is something special. Best high school running back i've seen since Ralph King. What is amazing is that he has the most amount of yards out of all those backs and he also has the least amount of carries and is tied for the most TD's. Gaston is going to have another huge game tonight at the pit.

hs sports fan has a good point, and not just cause i am a Riverdale fan. Miller has the least number of carries and he is leading in yards, and also tied for TDs. He is an amazing athlete, especially for a junior. His ability to find the hole and his speed in the open is hard to come by.

DMAK, whats up dude. You know who this is dont you? Welcome to the Coacht cult

[jgb316]

His stats are even more amazing now, just over thirty carries for just over six hundred yards....thats crazy....if he got it as much as the other RBs in the state he would be getting 600 a game....dang

Is G. Miller better than the old riverdale star Ralph King?Why or why not

[hs sports fan]

They are definatley comparable but we will wait and give my opinion after Gaston graduates. Bet yes I think he is capable of being better. Like someone said, if he got as many carries as some people in the state he would be close to a thousand yards. Some backs get 30 carries a game he has barely got 30 all year. He is the real deal

[Harris' hooligans]

Gaston would have already broken the record for yards in a season if he had been allowed to play four quarters of a game...I'm not sure if he has played a total of four quarters the entire season...I grew up with him and even back in 3rd grade we couldnt touch even in two hand touch

Miller has a great line in front of him and is the type of back that only needs a small hole to get in the open. Once he does, he is as good as I have seen in terms of quickness and speed.

 

Give his line due credit, but he is the REAL DEAL. Only blowout games where he plays only a half will keep him from 2,500 yards this year.

 

He was definitely the key to the Riverdale/CPA game not being closer than it was.
