KILLEEN – The secret weapon is not so secret anymore. Opposing defenses on the football field knew the names of running backs Antonio Lealiiee and Kylan Herrera, but a name in the backfield they may not have been too familiar with - until he blazed past them on an end around - was Marcus Brumfield.
The senior speedster carried the best per carry average with 10.8 on his 13 attempts on the season, and has now led the varsity track team to five-consecutive podium finishes behind five-straight 100-meter dash wins.
“He’s done a good job this year,” said Cove head track coach Keith Stifflemire. “We knew coming in this year that he would be one of the top kids in the area in the sprints. The best thing is he’s stayed healthy. If he can stay healthy, he’s got a real good chance to go far.”
