Week 1 Player of the Week: Fellowship Christian’s Jonathan Granby

The Fellowship Christian quarterback Jonathan Granby passed 128 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 119 yards and two touchdowns in a 36-35 victory Friday over defending Class A Division II champion Bowdon.

It wasn’t Granby’s numbers. It was his timing and precision.

His 71-yard TD run broke a 14-14 tie in a game of four lead changes. His 10-yard TD run was on a third-and-6. His 13-yard TD pass was on target to a well-covered receiver.

And his final TD throw, off a scramble, was a 22-yarder to Kolton Driskell amid four defenders in the back of the end zone with no time remaining. Then he tossed to Driskell for the winning two-point conversion.

Granby, a junior, is GHSF Daily’s Player of the Week. The award is sponsored by Sports Turf.
