Jake Raines Still Rules Supreme

Yes it has been that long. Jake Raines, East Central holds the State Meet and course record from 2002. Robert Scribner, Tupelo came close in 2006 but came up short. Will anyone ever beat that record? We have had the talent but in most cases the top runners never came together at one meet to really put up the competition. Even the year that Jake set the record the other great time in that meet was Robert Stevenson, Pearl and he was 38 seconds back in 16:04 but in the Class 5A race. Just five Mississippi Boys have broken 16 minutes on the course.
