Kelvin Taylor's historic prep career ends as Glades Day falls in 2A regional final
Friday, November 23, 2012

David Quinones
Kelvin Taylor, the state's all-time leading career rusher, ran for 163 yards on 40 carries Friday night and scored a touchdown, but it was not enough to keep Glades Day's season from ending in a 20-14 loss at Miami-Dade Christian in the Class 2A-Region 4 championship game at Wooten Field.
Taylor, a Florida commit who began playing varsity in the 8th grade, finishes his career with 11,380 yards. On the national all-time list (which only counts yards starting in a player's 9th-grade year), Taylor is credited with 9,836 yards -- good for sixth all-time.
"I just wish I could have pulled it off but that team did a great job and we just came up short," Taylor said.
Dade Christian quarterback Gary Sampson had 306 all-purpose yards and atoned for a critical interception by picking off Glades Day quarterback Josh Carr to help the Crusaders hold on.
Dade Christian led throughout, taking a 10-0 first-quarter lead and a 17-6 halftime advantage as Glades Day scored on 7-yard pass from Carr to Calvin Darville. Glades Day trailed 20-6 when Taylor scored on a 7-yard run in the fourth quarter and added a 2-point conversion run, but that was it for the scoring. Carr completed 6 of 13 passes for 115 yards with one touchdown.
Sampson, who like most Crusaders plays both offense and defense, was one of three Dade Christian defensive backs to intercept Carr. The final Crusader pick came with less than a minute remaining in a one score game that saw the Gators come storming back from a 20-6 third-quarter deficit. The Gators, and in particular Taylor, seemed unstoppable in the final minutes.
Taylor had his helmet come after being tackled just inside the Crusaders 10-yard line with his Gators threatening to take the lead. By rule he was forced to leave for one down and on the ensuing play Carr's end zone pass intended for Darville was intercepted by Terrance Alls with 36 seconds remaining, sealing the win.
Big time. It's frustrating, big time," Taylor said of not being on the field for the crucial play. "I just wish I could have been in there with my teammates, and we came up just short."
Taylor's longest run in the first half was just 7 yards, but he tallied 109 yards in the second half and was the catalyst for a Gators comeback that fell just short.
"With Kelvin Taylor you've got to hit your run fits. It's all about gap responsibility because if you don't do that, he's capable of breaking an 80-yard run on you," Dade Christiani coach Mike Sonneborn said. "He basically brought them back within one play of winning."
The Crusaders special teams were hit-or-miss most of the night, but Ivan Arenas' two field goals proved to be the difference in a tight game.
In the third quarter, Darville blocked a Dade Christian punt and recovered it on the Crusaders 18 yard line. Taylor would later score to narrow the margin to 20-14.

Great career Kelvin! Now keep praying n do what u at the next level.

First off, there is no way Taylor ran for 160 yards. It was more like 120. He was exposed by a defense with team speed. He never sees it against the pop warner teams they play every week.
He will be a non factor at Florida. Hiis running style is fine for a MAC school but mark my words he will be a ZERO in the SEC.

Any kid that runs and plays like Kelvin, as well as starts varsity play in 8th grade is going somewhere. Get over your negativity. I dont know the kid but have enjoyed reading about his weekly success on the sports pages. Wish him the very best of luck.
Hope you eat your words.

I won't eat my words and playing at a MAC school is going somewhere. There are plenty of backs who could have put up similar numbers being 2 years older than almost everyone you play against and playing really weak competition

Dude u are some kind of hater. It's sad to see you hate on a kid. Say what you want about GD and there schedule but that young man would start at 99% of the high schools in the country. Imagine the yards he could have put up with a large school offensive line. You say he won't make it in the SEC?

Better hope UF doesn't see game film from Dade game. Dade was small but athletic and they totally shut him down. Kelvin has no shot at UF. He is no better a runner than he was in 8th grade. Can't wait to see him fall on his face next year.

@really, I played with KT for 3 years, he is a beast, he works hard, doesn't have blazing speed but has speed, he can catch, has done it for the past 5 years and can definitely block. You also say he's an uncoachable primadonna? Shut up when you don't know what you're talking about. I was there with him for practices, games, film sessions. The dude is listens to the coaches well and plays the game with passion. Works hard to play at the level to be the elite SEC player he his. Thanks for the 5 great years at Glades Day, Kelvin. Praying for the best!!!

We will see in August. BTW, nothing makes me happier than watching you guys fall on your face the last two years. Some how you seemed to get a pass but you cheat as much as Dwyer and American Heritage. 18 seniors on the roster this year. At least 10 new players showed up to a school in the middle of no where, the supposed best RB in the country in a pop warner league and you still couldn't get out of your region. Scary thing is that and a pick up truck is all you have to live for.Let's see if the schools even around in 2 years

Taylor is NOT the all-time rushing leader in the state of Florida. He is #2 all-time. Very good back and has done some really great things at Glades. I wish him nothing but the best at UF. Be fun to watch him grow.

Sorry I made a mistake. He is still currently the all-time leading rusher for at least another week.

I was at the game DC had pretty much their whole team in the box. That's what all teams large and small had to do to slow him down. Idiots like Really amuse the hell out of me, he thinks he's a better evaluater of talent than Saban, Spurrier,Miles,Muschamp and pretty much all the top FBS coaches.. sounds to me that you weren't a very good FB player or your son sucked on the gridiron.
really commented on November 26, 2012 at 10:22 a.m.: report abuse
C'mon ref. Dade ran a 5-2 defense. They did not have everyone in the box. They were small but quick. Taylor chose to sit down when there were no holes instead of running over people and making his own holes. Have you watched the rb's at Florida? We'll see next year whose right.
As far as Spurrier, Saban and Muschamp evaluating talent. It's Fred Taylors son, he's rushed for 10,000 yards and he'll be 25 when he graduates. We'll offer him. There's no evaluation. BTW. you can't evaluate him. He plays against pop warner kids every week

@ Really you can downgrade the young man all you want. But as coach several levels above GD I can say by watching film, something I don't think you have the knowledge to do on a regular basis. This young man is a football player with excellent vision and strength. I know for a fact he would play at GC and start the last 3 years. He would not get 30-40 carries a game, just not the type of offense they run. He would start at Seminole Ridge, Royal Palm, Palm Beach Central and of course Wellington all 7-8A schools. He would start at Gardens, Dwyer and Atlantic 7-8A schools. He is just as good or better than Tre Mason and he is starting at Auburn a SEC school. You seem to have a problem with this young man. Maybe your upset your son went to GD and had to transfer because he was crappy running back.Maybe you yourself played football and never made past JV level. He could go to a MAC school, ACC school and never play because of many reasons, but stop hating on SEC and the Florida Gators for giving him a shot. In coporate America all the time people get jobs becasue of who they know not what they know it's no different then College Athletics. You think Mike Golic boys just went to Notre Dame because they liked the school, their daddy went there you a hole...
Lol commented on November 26, 2012 at 2:32 p.m.: report abuse
Haha it's so funny how you think you know everything about the guy must be stalking him or something^. The number 1 running back in the country as rated by Espn I'm pretty sure they know a little bit about sports they have analysts galore. All the above named schools are not mediocre except Wellington . No one actually cares what you think and it doesn't matter whether he played at 2A or 8A he could have handled either. And as for the work ethic you probably have no idea what you're talking about its not like they just lay down in 2A he had to get through that just as well. Stop creeping on the kid
Football Coach commented on November 26, 2012 at 2:40 p.m.: report abuse
Where did you play and have you ever played organized football at all? First thing I have both my B.A and Graduate Degree from BCS school therefore I am not dumb and never have been, I also have coached several kids that have gone to college at all levels BCS, D1-AA, D2, D3 & JC with more talent then Kelvin who didn't make name caller. So it doesn't really matter what you do until you get to camp in August and prove you belong. Second what do you consider bad schools in Palm Beach County, if I can remember Glades Central and Pahokee beat teams all over the country for years. Ameican Heritage plays top level teams, as well as Dwyer and this young man could start at all of them. If you remember GD played AH for years and beat them with Kelvin. How would you know if he has work ethic and how would you know if he has some academic issues. It sounds like you are bitter insider with some previous connections to GD. He has never been coached to be a great football player sounds again like you have a problem with Pete Walker as coach.
really commented on November 26, 2012 at 3:03 p.m.: report abuse
Pete Walker couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag. Even with all the recruiting they do, without Taylor their not a 500 team once in the last 5 years. By your post I'm to assume since he would start at RB for Glades Centralor Palm Beach Gardens he's a shoo in to play at Florida. Not the case. He needs to go to a mid major school or he won't see the field. That's my point. He's been treated with kid gloves at Glades Day since he got there. He got exposed this past weekend against a small defense with a little speed. He carried the ball 40 times and made nothing happen. There's a reason you coached so many places. You couldn't keep a job. How many runningbacks sit down on the ground when there isn't a hole? He did it 10 times Friday. Tell me why he's not a team captain? Keep drinking the kool aid
Football Coach commented on November 26, 2012 at 3:36 p.m.: report abuse
Hey Really I coached at the same school for several years therefore I would know your the one that is drinking and it's not kool aide. Second of all I am coaching because of the kids, therefore I have haven't had several jobs. I am coaching for nothing because I have a well paying professional job unlike yourself. Again your just pulling my chain and I am allowing you to do so. What a sucker I am because I allowed such a dumb, ignorant, un-educated, lack of knowledge, whatabe, lack of talent jerk to draw me into this conversation. GET A LIFE AND STOP HATING ON 18 YEAR OLD.

Really really really you really are ignorant. Dade Christian was playing a 5-2 with 2 DBs cheating in so in essence they had 9 in the box..
Also the statement you made about Kelvin getting all those offers because he is Fred Taylor's boy. Do you really think Saban,Spurrier,Miles or Kiffen would give as you would say a second tier running back a scholarship because he's Fred's son. Son belly on back up to the bar and drink yourself back to your pretty little world..

Dude, take a chill pill. First off Kelvin isn't 18 he's at least 19 2nd he's not even the best running back in PBC never mind the country.He can be a good back at a lot of schools but not the elite ones Flag football is a different story. The moves he puts on pop warner kids is perfect for flag football, against Alabama he'll get run over with a facemask right in the center of his chest. BTW Going back to your last post GD never beat AH with Kelvin. Played 1 time and lost 35-20. He's a good football player but he won't see the field at Florida. BMOC Florida gives lots of schollys to guys who never see the field.
@ really commented on November 26, 2012 at 4:42 p.m.: report abuse
But Really they werent recruited to not see the field. A football scholarship to a SEC school is valued at 200k+ and programs are extremely limited on how many schollys they have to give out. A school may take a chance on a Mule that has potential in hopes of putting lbs on his frame. They aint doing that for a skill player at UF..
really commented on November 26, 2012 at 4:46 p.m.: report abuse
The value of a football scholarship at UF is what it cost to go there. Under 50K. I'm sure Florida thinks Kelvin will be a great back for them. I'm saying he won't. We'll find out next year. That's all I'm saying. BTW if the UF coaches watch the game film from Friday, which they probably won't. They would have the same concerns I have

To really. STOP bashing Kelvin. He is a great kid, and a great player.Like I said earlier, he will get the last laugh. As far as "sitting down" at the game on Friday, I never saw that. As a matter of fact, I have never seen Kelvin "sit down" on any play. As far as GDS being a pop warner team, I don't think so. Kelvin could be all about the "I" but he is all about the "WE". He loves his team, his coaches, and his school, and they all feel the same way about him. We will go on next year without him, and we will still be winning games. And on Saturdays, when we are watching UF play, we will still be cheering Kelvin on. And when he goes on to do great things on and off the field, we can say we knew him when.

Forget all of this for 1 minute. Why the hell does the coach call a pass play on First and goal from Dade Christians 7 yard line with a minute to go? Throw the ball out of the end zone on First down until Kelvin comes back into the game Kelvin only needs two plays to score from the 7 against anyone?
really commented on November 27, 2012 at 8:05 p.m.: report abuse
It was 2nd down and he averaged about 3 yards a carry in that game so a Taylor TD was far from a guarantee.He averaged about 3 yards a carry Friday night For the record I have never worked at Glades Day, just a parent with an opinion. I've watched Kelvin's antics for years and don't think he's got what it takes to make it at Florida.
Also Taylor is not a team captain. Anyone around the program knows that and they also know why.
Lastly, the past 2 years were huge disappointments, both playoff loses were to teams with less talent. As I said in an earlier post Walker in not a very good coach when it come to x's and o's
We can argue till the cows come home. We're going to have to wait till next year to see whose right.

Walker likes to send different people out for the coin toss to keep them involve. That's funny stuff. What the 3 passes and 1 FB trap a game isn't enough to keep his teammate happy? The one horse show is no more. Taylor needs to get to a college asap. (Should have been there 2 years ago)
@Curious commented on November 27, 2012 at 8:30 p.m.: report abuse
Kelvin only needs 2 plays to score from the 7 against anyone? He carried the ball 40 times and scored once. Your offensive line outweighed Dades defensive line by over 50 pounds a player. He clearly let his teammates down. If you can't find another level in what ended up to be your last HS game. Your just not that good. I know he rushed for a million yards against Summitt but go against a team with above average speed and he becomes average.

I am close enough to the program to know that the coaches kiss his butt all the time. Every other kid in the program was held to a different standard then Kelvin.
