But no, really, if we can be serious for a moment ...

Eyes are deceptive things. Given some of the times alleged by some watch timers, I give little credibility to 40 times anymore.
Heck, I'm not sure you realize how fast a 4.35 is. That is good for the fourth fasted PLAYER (across all positions) in the 2011 NFL Combine.
He probably didn't run that, as that would be the 40 time for a
FAST starting NFL running back. Kids train in high school, and they become very good, but no high school kid puts up cream-of-the-NFL-combine-crop numbers. I would bet that an electronic timing of 40 times would bring some shocking reality to some teams.
We all like to think that each kid has become a manchild, but the fact of the matter is, human error is prevalent, and human speculation is faulty. We can want our kids to be fast enough to compete at the NFL combine at the age of 18, but in reality, only maybe one or two every several years (not annually by any stretch) in the whole country are freakish enough to compete with 21 and 22 year old men who have been training unlike any high school team and are the best of the best at big D1 colleges.
40 times aside, though, it's obvious that Wynford has a powerful asset at their disposal. Given that they aren't huge, it's likely they are a very fast team as far as D5 high school teams go. The 2001 Smithville team lost in the Regional Final to a team who didn't have a starter over 200 lbs, but whose line was FAST, so I am fully confident that, while not combine numbers, the kids are just plain fast.

Scoutingohio.com has both the QB and 6-3 WR at 4.7 speed and that was last yr I believe.
In the program, I was 6-5 and 235. In reality, I was 6-3 and 215.
They're obviously an amazing team. You don't end up ranked number 1 in the region without it. Smithville is going to have its hands full. I hope they can keep it close.
