And now, the fastest of the fast

We've got the statistical results from the Scout.com high school combine held at West Charlotte High Sunday. The course was difficult because of some dips in the grass practice field. So 4.3 times turned into 4.5s, and 4.6s into 4.8s. The sprints, though, were electronically timed, and that technology doesn’t lie.

The best of the bunch was John Fulton of Manning (S.C) High, a cornerback who turned in a 4.48. Fulton was also named the combine’s Defensive MVP.

He was followed by defensive end Darius Wallace of Sumter, S.C.’s Crestwood (4.49), RB Jerrell Priester of Allendale-Fairfax (S.C.) High (4.53), DE Chris Smith of West Rowan High (4.57) and RB Tyler Hamilton of East Rutherford (4.58).--Stan Olson
