If records are made to be broken, here's five in the Mansfield High football team's record book that could be erased. A few of them could even be by players who already hold them.
While the rushing records of 1,352 yards by Shawn Doherty, Omari Walker, 24 rushing touchdowns and Walker's 174 points appear to be safe, the passing records are under big time assault.
1. Kyle Wisnieski's 1,809 passing yards in 2012-Back for his senior year, Wisnieski will be threatening his own mark. Mansfield quarterbacks tend to make improvements from junior to senior year as they better understand the offense with a season and another offseason under their belts.
2. Brendan Hill's 48 receptions in 2012-This will either broken this year or next year by the talented junior receiver. This year is a good bet with Wisnieski back at quarterback this year.
3. Brett McDermott's 996 yards receiving in 2004-Hill is a threat to break this in the two years he has left. McDermott had an unbelievable senior year, but with the Mansfield passing attack, you have got to think this there will be a challenge to this mark soon.
4. Jeff Hill's 14 touchdown in 2010. Brendan Hill is a threat to break his brother's record, especially with Wisnieski throwing to his favorite target.
5. Mark Copithorne's nine interceptions in 1989-This record in the oldest in the 1988-to the present record book and has already survived several seasons and host of excellent Hornet defensive backs. With high school teams throwing the ball more, Mansfield defensive backs should have more opportunities. You would think, though, teams would avoid passing in the direction of a defensive back with even six or seven interceptions, so Copithrone's record could be the toughest to beat in this group.
