In a weekend that included several big upsets in high school football, Parkville senior Rashard Carter proved a one-man band in wrecking then-No. 15 Perry Hall's Saturday afternoon.

Carter, a running back who did not play last season, scored three touchdowns in a 33-15 upset of Perry Hall. He ran for 208 yards on 20 carries and two touchdowns and caught a 27-yard touchdown pass. He accumulated 263 yards of total offense in Saturday's game -- boosting his season total to 668 yards. He has run 58 times for 559 yards and six touchdowns this season and has at least 12 tackles as a linebacker for the 3-1 Knights.

"He's blessed," said Parkville coach Jackson Tarr. "He's got a lot of talent, but he wants it more than most kids and he will do the work."

The offensive line gets a lot of credit too for booking Carter's appearances in the end zone -- guards Dylan McKenzie and Marvin White, tackles Josh Strother and Philip Okpara and center Tae Kim.
