Cole Ballard tied the Class A Nebraska record for touchdowns in a game, but he didn’t actually get the chance to break it — he put the Elkhorn South High School (Douglas County, Neb.) Storm up by so many points with his seven touchdowns in the first half that he didn’t even play the second.

He had five rushing touchdowns, one receiving touchdown and took a punt return to the house. Here’s a video of the seventh score, a rush of about 74 yards:
