Cedartown running back Nick Chubb, who averaged more than 270 yards rushing per game last season, is on pace to have another 2,000-yard rushing season. Chubb barely played more than a half last week against LaFayette, but put up some rather large numbers while scoring five touchdowns. Chubb, who committed to Georgia, scored his fifth touchdown on the first play of the third quarter on a 64-yard run. Shortly afterward, he took a spot on the bench.
