When a player has 21 touchdowns in a season, it's a good year. When Notre Dame Academy (Green Bay, WI) running back Kingston Allen has 21 touchdowns in a season, he's only through week 4.
The Wisconsin commit rushed for six more touchdowns in the Tritons' 52-0 shutout against Sheboygan South (WI), the third time this season he has rushed for at least five in a game. In this game, Allen did it on less than half the carries of the other two games, rushing the ball 15 times for 229 yards and the half-dozen scores.
He only played the first half, according to Triton Sports Network broadcaster Joey Bonadonna.
Allen couldn't be stopped, picking up some good blocking and taking care of business when it was his turn to break a tackle or put on a burst.

In this game, Allen broke the 5,000-yard career rushing mark.
He entered the season 3,586 yards away from breaking the Wisconsin record, according to MaxPreps. At his pace this season, he would reach that in 12 games — though this is, by any stretch of the imagination, an absurd pace. He entered the year 50 touchdowns behind the Wisconsin record. He's up to 21 through four games, a pace at which he would need 10 games to break that mark. Last year, he rushed for 3,436 yards and 57 touchdowns.
Allen was named to the ALL-USA Preseason Third Team, and has so far exceeded expectations with 1,276 rushing yards through just four games.
His next chance to show why he could be Wisconsin's next great running back will come next week against Green Bay East (WI), a Thursday game on Sept. 17 at 7 p.m.

Is Kingston Allen the best running back in the country?
The consensus top two running backs are Georgia commit Kemon Spell and Tennessee commit David Gabriel Georges.
Gabriel George went crazy in No. 13 Baylor's (Chattanooga, TN) 35-27 win over No. 19 Trinity (Louisville, KY), rushing for 315 yards and five touchdowns in the Super 25 battle.
Spell tonight rushed for 296 yards, with touchdowns of 31, 72, 96, and 24 yards, according to MaxPreps, though McKeesport (PA) lost. Gabriel Georges led Baylor (Chattanooga, TN) over Trinity (Louisville, KY).
After tonight's performance, however, Allen sure is making his case for the honor.
