It didn’t take long to know that Corey Kiner was going to be special. In Week 2 of his freshman year Kiner ran for then a Roger Bacon record 302 yards with five touchdowns in a win over Western Hills. He showed his grit and dogged determination that night on his 32 carries with a long of just 25 yards. Those attributes have only gotten better as Kiner heads into his senior season etching his way into history.

The honors and records are building up for Kiner who was named 2019 OPSWA Division IV First Team All-Ohio, Southwest District Co- Offensive Player of the Year, OPSWA First Team All-Southwest District (for a third straight season), MVC Scarlet Offensive Player of the Year, First Team All-TriState Football (RS) and TSF Cincinnati OPOY finalist (for a second straight season).

As a junior, Kiner crushed the school record books with 2,298 yards rushing, a 12.1 yards per carry average, 40 rushing touchdowns, 44 total touchdowns, 278 points scored (14th best in a season in Ohio history) and 2,943 all-purpose yards (300+ yards in each of the last four games of the season). He ran for 200 yards or more seven times in his last eight games including more than 300 against playoff teams CHCA (8-3) and Summit Country Day (8-2).

Kiner goes into 2020 with 5,264 yards rushing, 81 rushing touchdowns (tied for 20th all-time in Ohio), 88 total touchdowns (25th all-time in Ohio), 6,804 all-purpose yards and 548 points scored – all Roger Bacon records.
