Northeast Georgia is home of the GHSA’s leading rusher, passer and receiver after seven weeks of the regular season.
They are Lumpkin County’s Mason Sullens (1,119 yards rushing), Prince Avenue Christian’s Aaron Philo (2,180 passing) and Loganville’s Ahmed Souare (825 receiving).
Sullens took over the rushing lead with a 200-yard effort in a 30-21 victory over Wesleyan last week. Lumpkin County is 6-0 for the first time since 1967.
“Mason is a player that understands that the work comes before success,” Lumpkin County coach Heath Webb said. “His offseason work ethic was incredible. He worked hard in the weight room to add 15 pounds of muscle, and he worked hard on the track to gain speed. When you combine the added size with the increased speed, you’ve got a tremendous running back. It also helps that we have all five offensive line starters back from last season. Those guys are paving the way.”
Mason is 6 feet, 1 inch and 215 pounds and has one offer, from Bluefield College.
Philo, the reigning GHSA passing leader, has held his lead the past two weeks.
Souare is new at the top of receiving. He’s surged ahead with a two-game run of 17 catches for 412 yards and five touchdowns.
