The Scott High football program reached another milestone on Friday night at University of Charleston Stadium, despite a loss to Class AA power Bluefield.

Running back Jordan Roberts ran for 292 yards on 29 carries which helped him pass former Nitro star and current University of Charleston running back Josh Culbertson as the state's 10-game, single-season record-holder for rushing yards.

In the Skyhawks' 35-25 loss to Bluefield (10-0), Roberts pushed his 10-game total to 2,863 yards on 229 carries. Culbertson, who won the 2005 Kennedy Award, ran for 2,744 yards in 10 games during his senior season, but had 3,587 yards in 14 games that year.
