LEPANTO, Ark. -- Kendric Smith scored 10 touchdowns, on runs ranging from 1 to 54 yards, and it still wasn't enough for Hughes High School.

Smith broke the state record for touchdowns in a game, the last coming in overtime, but Hughes lost 73-72 Friday night to East Poinsett County. He also scored on runs of 13, 20, 28, 35, 40, 45, 52 and 53 yards while breaking the Arkansas record of eight touchdowns in a game set by Alvin Bell of Little Rock in 1919 and matched by Chris James of Osceola in 2003.

Quarterback Brett Hardin had 835 all-purpose yards for East Poinsett County in the meeting of previously winless teams.

East Poinsett County (1-6) and Hughes (0-5) were tied 66-66 at the end of regulation. Hughes scored first in overtime on a 1-yard run by Smith, but missed on a two-point conversion. East Poinsett County responded with a 2-yard touchdown run by Hardin and won the game on an extra point by Joseph Peridore.

WTF is the national record?!

That's ****ing crazy.

And even crazier is the score of that game. Sometimes you see one team score 70 points, although rare....you NEVER see both teams score 70 points.

And to answer your question, Ken Pearson (Hugo, CO), scored 12 rushing TDs in 1930.

When 2 team combine for a record of 1-11, there usually isn't any.

Sounds like it would have been a pretty damn exciting game to watch.
