Roger Bacon standout running Corey Kiner continues to etch his name into the record books.
On Friday, the highly-touted junior scored eight touchdowns in Roger Bacon’s 58-32 victory over Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy at Bron Bacevich Memorial Stadium.
His eight trips to the end zone puts him with special company in the Ohio High School Athletic Association record books. According to OHSAA football records, he is one of 19 players in Ohio high school football history to have eight or more touchdowns in a single game.
He is the first since Columbus West’s Byron White had nine against Africentric on Sept. 18, 2015. He’s also the first player from Greater Cincinnati with eight-plus touchdowns in a single game.
Kiner also shattered three more Roger Bacon records against the Eagles. His seven rushing touchdowns and 323 yards are both school records in addition to becoming the program’s all-time leader in all-purpose yards.

Earlier this season, Kiner became the school’s all-time leading scorer with a three-touchdown performance against Woodward.
Last week, in a 32-8 victory over Meadowdale, Kiner became Roger Bacon’s all-time leading rusher. Friday’s performance against CHCA puts the junior over the 4,000-yard mark for his career.
The Spartans move to 7-1 on the season with hopes of clinching a playoff spot for the first time since 2010.
