- Caleb Schaffitzel is the highest scoring player in Missouri high school football history.
Most careers and seasons end with a thud, unless you win a state championship. Fair Grove tailback Caleb Schaffitzel’s season ended back on Nov. 14 with a 42-14 Class 2 quarterfinal loss to Lamar.
What it did do was allow us to officially tally his eyepopping career numbers and officially cement his legacy amongst the state’s best football players of all time.
What records does he hold? Schaffitzel is currently the state’s all-time touchdown leader with 141 and points leader with 921. He’s second in career rushing yards, second and third in most TDs in a season and fourth in rushing TDs in a season. I’ve spelled out all of his numbers in the remainder of this post.
Also, I sat down with Schaffitzel for a question-and-answer session, asking him about what it’s like to break the state’s most hallowed record, what his college plans are and what made him such a good tailback.
