Keyjuan Brown of South Atlanta and Keegan Stover and Jaden Gibson of Rabun County are the GHSA’s leaders in rushing, passing and receiving yards through week 11, but while they sit this week out, others are poised to make a move on the final week of the regular season.
In fact, Nick Woodford of Northeast seized the moment Thursday night. The Macon back unofficially ran for 254 yards and four touchdowns on 18 carries in a 51-13 victory over Rutland. That would give Woodford 2,262 yards on the season and likely the regular-season rushing title, but those numbers won’t be reflected on GHSF Daily’s leaderboard until after this weekend’s games are played.
Brown’s South Atlanta team finished the regular season 9-0, playing one fewer game than Northeast and most others.
The passing race also will go down until the end. Stover, whose Rabun County team finished the regular season 10-0, leads McIntosh’s Tate Morris by 249 yards. Others in striking distance are Prince Avenue Christian’s Aaron Philo (299 behind) and Alpharetta’s Ben Guthrie (318 behind). Carrollton’s Julian Lewis trails by 343, but his 10-0 team’s regular season is complete.
Gibson, Rabun County’s star receiver, is safe. His 1,576 receiving yards rank among the best five regular-season totals in state history.
Another player to watch this week is Johnson County’s Germivy Tucker, whose 1,884 rushing yards rank third in the state and first in Class A Division II.
Tucker is 242 yards from breaking Herschel Walker’s school record of 6,137 career rushing yards. That’s not a regular-season thing, so Tucker’s pursuit will continue into the playoffs if necessary. Johnson County (9-0) plays tonight against Hancock Central.
