Green Bay Blizzard's LaRon Council Rushes for 1000 yards

Green Bay running back Green Bay running back La'Ron Council (5’10, 205, Northwest Missouri St.) broke four different IFL records on Saturday night as the Blizzard (11-3) defeated the Wichita Wild (8-6) 72-41.
Council broke the IFL record for rushing attempts in a season midway through the opening period. The previous record had been 231, but Council finished with 30 carries for 148 yards (team record and 2012 IFL season-high) to end the season with 256 carries. Then with 4:30 remaining in the first half Council toted the ball for 5 yards which was enough for him to surpass the IFL record for rushing yards in a season (previously 936). In an eventful second half Council passed the 1,000-yard rushing mark on the season, as well as set the single-season record for rushing touchdowns (42) on his fifth TD run of the game. Head coach Robert Fuller had nothing but praise for his star running back, "It's been an absolute pleasure to coach La'Ron, he is probably the most unselfish football player I have ever coached and it couldn't happen to a better guy." Council finished the regular season with 1,040 rushing yards. Pondering all of the accolades coming his way and the amount of records he has broken Council said after the game, "Wow....It was a tremendous team effort; it took all of the guys who were out there, linemen, receivers, and coaches to accomplish these feats."
