Over the weekend there were a few performances I caught wind of that deserve some extra attention.
A Derrick Henry rushing record fell to an inspiring young player, a blue-chip kicker kicked nearly a 60-yard field goal, and Marshawn Lynch crashed a high school practice in Michigan.
Those are the types of things we want to highlight with the FootballScoop High School Roundup on Mondays. Let's dig in.
BAKER (FL) RUNNING BACK BREAKS DERRICK HENRY RUSHING RECORD
Kayleb Wagner broke the state's single-game rushing record by running for 535 yards and six touchdowns in a tight 49-48 win over South Walton on Friday night.
Earlier this year, in the season opener, he carried the ball for 267 yards...on just four carries. Ever single one of those touches went for a touchdown too, for a 66 yards per carry average.
More impressively, Wagner is just a junior.
Even more impressive, Wagner is one of the most inspiring football stories of the year, as he was born without a left hand.
BLUE VALLEY HS (KS) KICKER NAILS 57-YARDER
Blue Valley HS is traditionally one of the stronger football programs in Kansas, and on Friday night their kicker, 5-star prospect Charlie Weinrich, nailed a state record 57-yard field goal.
STATE RECORD 57 yard field goal! Thankful for the trust that @CoachATerrell, @PaulBrown001, and the whole coaching staff has in me! Great team win, let’s keep it rolling! 👊🏻 pic.twitter.com/1vimu3ifHy

MARSHAWN LYNCH CRASHES A PRACTICE IN MICHIGAN
Players at Flint Carman-Ainsworth got a surprise visit from Marshawn Lynch last week.
Luckily for the players it was during a non-padded practice and no one tried to test Beast Mode out.
Imagine being a HS student and Super Bowl champ Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch casually pulls up to your football practice, then participates for over an hour? That’s what happened at Flint Carman-Ainsworth today. Coach Dajuan Massey described the moment as “huge for #Flint.” pic.twitter.com/EZ2J7FWNSM
