Newnan quarterback, receiver top yardage leaderboards after Week 3
North Cobb Christian’s Cooper Bazarsky and Newnan’s Brodie Campbell and John Matthews are the GHSA’s leading rusher, passer and receiver after three weeks of the regular season. All three play for 3-0 teams.
Bazarsky has rushed for at least 150 yards in each of his games for a total of 662. Some small schools are interested in him, but he has no offers.
“Team leader and captain,” North Cobb Christian coach Matt Jones said. “Great runner but catches the ball equally as well out of the backfield. Incredible young man.”
Newnan’s quarterback-wide receiver pair got most of their yards in a single game, a 60-56 victory over East Coweta on Aug. 22, when Campbell passed for 516 yards and Matthews had 257 receiving yards.
Campbell, a junior, has 929 passing yards on the season. He has offers from Georgia State and Troy. Matthews, a sophomore with 423 receiving yards, has a half-dozen offers, one from Georgia.
Newnan coach Chip Walker called Campbell the best quarterback that he has coached.
“What separates him from most other quarterbacks is his attention to detail in studying film and his dedication to his craft,” Walker said. “Matthews is a wide receiver that combines great route running, hands and big-play capability.”
