Panther, the article I posted at the top of this page has lots of good information on this front. Here is an excerpt, which seems to contain the info you're interested in:

"A year ago, Timberland's Montee Ball came within 39 yards of topping the area's single-season rushing record of 3,105 yards set in 1990 by Althoff's Hickey Thompson.

If he can run for 129 yards against visiting Washington on Friday, Ball would surpass another Althoff back, Jason Ford, to become the area's career rushing leader.

"Actually, I had no idea," said Ball, who said he learned of the impending achievement after it was announced during the Wolves' game last Friday.

A 6-foot-2, 212-pound senior who has committed to Wisconsin, Ball ran for 1,845 yards and 15 touchdowns and was the Post-Dispatch sophomore of the year in 2006. In 2007, he earned All-Metro honors after leading the area in rushing (3,077 yards) and scoring (32 touchdowns).
Ford, a freshman at the University of Illinois, finished last year with 6,415 yards.
Ball doesn't figure to reach the 3,000 mark this season. Timberland is blowing out opponents, so he's averaging about half the carries per game that he did last season, down from 29.8 to 16.7. But his per-carry average is way up, to 11.7 from 8.6 in 2007."

This season he has 25 touchdowns through 7 regular season games, with 3 remaining. He is thus on pace for about 36 TDs in the regular season. He's scoring better than 1-in-every-5 times he touches the ball.
