Reaching the second level of the Odessa defense, courtesy of blocks from – from left – Trent Menconi, Tim Shafer, Jaishon White, Jayden Martin, and Bo Smith, senior fullback Silas Midgyett of the 2024 Chillicothe High School football Hornets plants his right foot in the artificial turf to cut to his left directly toward the camera and a gap in the defense on his way to a 39-yards touchdown run late in the third quarter of CHS’ 20-10 home win Friday, Oct. 18, 2024. Already the single-game rushing yardage CHS record-holder after a 470-yards decimation of St. Joseph: Lafayette last year, Midgyett became the team’s record-holder for most carries in a game in Friday’s 20-10 home win over Odessa, lugging the ball 43 times for 254 yards, according to preliminary statistics. The pivotal non-conference win elevated Chillicothe’s season record to 4-4 prior to its regular-season finale at 1-7 St. Joseph: Benton next week. (BUTCH SHAFFER/C-T PHOTO)
