Best of the Rest honor: Sheldon Wilson, Anadarko...

Is Class 3A the land of the running backs? From Devin Campbell (Bethany) to John McCracken (Blanchard) to Blake Riojas (Newcastle) to Barry J. Sanders (Heritage Hall), the list goes on and on.

But you know what? With all those names being mentioned, the best back in the class might reside in Anadarko. Sheldon Wilson has been putting up video game-like numbers through the first four games.

Wilson scored six touchdowns as the Warriors improved to 4-0 this season. And frankly I think I grossly underrated this team initially.

Not anymore. I’m not sleeping on this group any longer. I moved Anadarko up to No. 4 in the class and that sounds about right.

Other contenders

Cole Swayze, Purcell: Not a ‘running back’ in title, but Swayze has been a beast on the ground, too. He scored five touchdowns on the ground in the Dragons’ win against Sulphur.

Corey Bennett, Choctaw: The Choctaw running back notched two touchdowns in helping the Yellowjackets to their second win of the season.
