Its Christmas day and time for number eight in my countdown of top sports stories.
8- Layn Hurst breaks both the National Career High School RBI record and the National Hits record.
On May 10th Hurst was 4-4 with two doubles and two RBIs. Those two RBIs give him 290 for his career which tied Drew Henson for the national career record. He would get the mark to himself in the next game. A first inning sac fly against Aurora got it for him.
He would break the national hits record just a few days later. On May 18th in the district semi-finals Hurst would become the all-time high school hit king. On that same day he threw a complete game striking out ten and sending the Panthers to the District Title Game.
