Elba’s Alvin Henderson gallops for 412 rushing yards
Alvin Henderson made sure Class 1A, No. 1-ranked Elba stayed undefeated this season.
The uncommitted sophomore, who already has dozens of college offers, carried 22 times for 412 yards and six touchdowns in Thursday’s 62-28 road victory over Georgiana. Henderson scored on runs of 31, 12, 6, 31, 65 and 90 yards, as Georgiana suffered its second straight loss.
“He’s had big games every week,” Elba coach Marc Sieving said. “I don’t think he’s had a 400-yard game yet, so that’s a first as far as that goes.”
Elba (7-0 overall, 6-0 in 1A, Region 2) has scored at least 33 points in every game this season. Henderson now has 1,790 yards and 30 touchdowns this season. The AHSAA single-season record for touchdowns is 59, set by North Jackson’s Lee Witherspoon in 2018.
Henderson’s 412-yard performance against Georgiana ranks in the top 20 in AHSAA history, according to the online record book.
Elba plays Florala at home next week, while Georgiana (6-2, 4-2) is at home against Red Level.
