Colquitt County put on a passing show last week in its 54-17 victory over Lee County in a game between unbeaten teams from Region 1-AAAAAA. As a team, Colquitt was 32-of-38 for 428 yards and four touchdowns.
"We had guys draped all over them and they still hit them," Lee County coach Dean Fabrizio said. "If they throw and catch it like that, they will be hard for anyone to beat."
Some of the principals in that effort are part of this week's top individual performances.
