I received an e-mail from my good friend Ed Henry from www.leroyfootball.com that is well worth sharing with The Batavian family.
Here are some of the crazy numbers put up by quarterback Travis Fenstermaker, running back Andrew Alexander and wide receiver Mike Humphrey in their high school careers.
Travis Fenstermaker – 3 years; 35 games
2008: 101 of 165 for 1544 yards and 24 TDs (61.2%)
Career passing: 178 of 303 (59%) for 2658 yards and 41 TDs – just 7 INTs in 303 passes
Career rushing: 204 carries for 1027 yards – 11 TDs – 5.0 yard avg.
Career receiving: 3 rec. for 46 yards – 2 for TDs
His 3731 yards of total offense (2658 passing + 1027 rushing + 46 receiving) gave him 106.6 yards/game average for 35 career games
Defense: 87 tackles
21-2 record as starting QB (91%): 2 losses by a total of 4 points to 2 state champions (1-point loss in 2007 to Bishop Ludden and 3-point loss to Southwestern in 2008). Never lost to a Section 5 opponent.
2008 Knights averaged more points per game than any team in LR history: 41 ppg.
Accounted for 453 points in his career:
201 points he scored himself via 13 TDs (run and rec.) 4 field goals, 107 kicked PATs , and 2 run PATs.
252 points to others: 41 TD throws and 3 PAT throws
Mike Humphrey – 3 years; 29 games
All-time leading receiver in LR football history – season and career:
2008: 63 rec. for 892 yards and 15 TDs to lead Section 5
98 career receptions for 1421 yards and 25 TDs; 15 yards/catch
Career interception leader at LeRoy and likely among all-time Section 5 performers with 19 – his 9 in 2007 led NY state
108 career tackles on defense
Andrew Alexander – 2 years; 20 games
With ZERO prior VARSITY experience (3 carries for 6 yards as a junior as he was utilized as a receiver in 2007) he was placed at RB for the 2008 Knights and responded with:
207 carries for 1525 yards; 7.4 yards per carry and 14 rushing TDs
9 receptions for 5 TDs and 1 fumble recovery (huge one vs. Avon) for 20 total TDs!
312 yards on 31 carries (10.1 yards per carry) in sectional semifinal win over Letchworth
One of the hardest hitters on defense for the Knights: 73 tackles in 2 seasons
Knights are having their finest decade ever. Just one year to go in the 2000’s, the Knights are 85-13 (87%) from 2000 through 2008 (9 seasons). LeRoy has never had a sub-.500 winning percentage in any full decade in their 112-year program – 1897 thru 1899 withstanding as they played just 7 games total in those 3 years, going 1-6.
