Livermore’s Kamarri Robinson etched his name in the state record book on Friday night.
The running back ran for 534 yards and five touchdowns in 29 carries to lead the Cowboys to a 45-34 victory at home over Dublin in an East Bay Athletic League Valley Division game.
According to records kept by Cal-Hi Sports, Robinson’s rushing total ranks fifth all-time in state history, 13 yards behind the player who ranks fourth.
Laguna Beach’s Nathan Lancaster ran for 547 yards in a game 10 years ago.
The record is held by Ronney Jenkins of Hueneme-Oxnard, who rushed for 619 in 1995.
The 5-foot-8, 175-pound Robinson had 13 carries for 179 yards and two scores in the first half, then ran the ball 16 times for 355 yards and three TDs over the final two periods.
He had second-half runs of 41, 42, 55 and 73 yards, then capped it with a 90-yard race to the end zone that cemented the game for Livermore.
The Cowboys (4-4, 1-1 EBAL Valley) were leading 38-34 when Dublin picked up a first-and-goal with the clock running down in the fourth quarter.
The Livermore defense rose up and stopped the Gaels’ drive, then Robinson got the ball and scored his fifth and final touchdown with about three minutes left to make it a two-score contest.
Both teams are likely to be on the bubble when the North Coast Section Division II playoffs are determined, but Livermore helped itself a little more by beating the Gaels.
Dublin also is 4-4, 1-1 with two regular-season games to go.
