For us, besides running back, will he be a kickoff returner, at least, and/or punt returner?Tailback and postseason pinch starter at linebacker Peyton Lewis, the Tennessee commit, was sensational with 146 yards rushing, three touchdowns, a two-point conversion, and a TD saving rundown in which he covered half a field to make the play.
Salem heads to state semifinal with convincing win over E.C. Glass
They will play him where he best gives us a chance to win. Don't want to overuse him but take what he has to offer at all skills positions. Bottom line, if he is good he will play, seems he is very goodFor us, besides running back, will he be a kickoff returner, at least, and/or punt returner?
Lewis put on a show today (30 carries for 373 yards & 4 TDs) as Salem picked up a semifinal win over previously unbeaten Tuscarora, 31-21.
Peyton Lewis broke to his right, shook three Tuscarora defenders off him and, for the final time in Salem’s 31-21 win over the No. 9 Huskies in Saturday afternoon’s Virginia Class 4 football semifinal, moved into the open field with a horde of defenders stomach-down in his wake.
The senior running back had provided an unfamiliar sight in Leesburg. Throughout the fall, Tuscarora’s staff preached “relentless pursuit” until it was all the Huskies’ defense knew. Coach Jared Toler had his team adopt the mantra “band of brothers” until they became the parting words of each huddle. Those tenets delivered one of the most successful seasons in program history and, on Saturday, kept Salem largely contained.
But Lewis, a Tennessee commit and a 100-meter dash state champion, found an angle he liked. And though the Huskies caught him 15 yards short of his fifth touchdown run late in the fourth quarter, the 60-yard rush set up a game-sealing field goal and sent Salem to the Class 4 state final, in which it will play Phoebus, the reigning Class 3 champion.

Sampson needs to be kept. He’s a home run threat. We’ve got some good looking guys already and adding this kid. Unless it’s some insane no brainer I hope we focus on the guys blocking for him and Nico.Would be nice to have a downfield runner vet but might be something to sacrifice with the scholarship reduction
