If Wichita Trinity reaches the state football playoffs, it will be on the speedy feet of running back Morgan Burns. When Trinity pulled out a 28-26 win over Mulvane last week, Burns led the way, with 217 yards rushing, and he scored three touchdowns. For the season, the junior has rushed for 1270 yards, averaging nearly 160 yards a game.

If you think you've heard Burns' name before, you're right. He won two state titles in track earlier this year, running away from the field to capture the 100 and 200 meters.

If Burns and his buddies can run past Andover Central Thursday night, the Knights will be in the state football playoffs for the first time ever.
