Beaufort's Cummings IPBG Player of Week for Week 11
Beaufort running back Omar Cummings is the IPBG High School Football Player of the Week for Week 11.
Chatman rushed for 404 yards and eight touchdowns, both school records, on 35 carries in the Eagles' 56-42 win over Berkeley.
The eight touchdowns are one short of the state record for rushing touchdowns set by Mayo's Frank Byrd in 1958. The record for total touchdowns in a game is 10 by Byrnes' Shuler Bentley in 2013.
It's unclear what the state rushing record for a single game, but Rudy Mitchell of Westwood rushed for 467 yards against Blythewood earlier this season.
Hilton Head Prep running back/linebacker Gavin Hurlbut won the fan vote with 36.1 percent of the votes cast. Hurlbut rushed 17 times for 110 yards and a touchdown, ran for a two-point conversion and made eight tackles, including two for loss, in the Dolphins' 21-7 win over Holly Hill Academy in the first round of the SCISAA Class 1-A playoffs.
Cummings garnered 28.5 percent of the fan vote. Fans cast 410 votes this week.
The fan vote accounts for one-third of the voting. Members of The Island Packet and Beaufort Gazette sports staff hold the other two votes.
