Nice Dispatch article on Darius and his record breaking ways at RB.

Darius Reeves didn't turn cartwheels or take a bow after breaking Gahanna's career rushing record Friday during a 58-0 rout of Westland. Those who know the 6-foot-1, 176-pound senior wouldn't be the least bit surprised by his mature reaction. Gahanna (5-1) boasts a rich football tradition, including a small army of outstanding running backs.
A third-year starter, Reeves passed Anton Robinson's mark of 3,197 yards on the way to a 208-yard, six-touchdown night. With 878 yards and 17 touchdowns this season, Reeves has 3,367 yards for his career.
..
For all of Reeves' running skills, most college recruiters envision him as a defensive back. Because of the large onus placed on Reeves in Gahanna's offense, Lanza uses him on defense only in specific packages.
