     • Max Keleher set three school records in the MHS football game against Oelwein Friday night. The records were most rushing yards with 403 (previous record was Cody Gullett in 2010 with 243) and longest touchdown run from scrimmage, 98 yards (93 yards, Dave Krueger in 1975 and Jacob Black in 2011). A third record wasn’t verified, but it is believed Keleher’s seven touchdowns in the game is also a record in team history.  (10/12/2016)
