Week 2 Player of the Week: North Murray’s Judson Petty

North Murray wide receiver Judson Petty is joined by head coach Preston Poag in accepting the Player of the Week plaque Wednesday at his school.

There’s a new state record for most receiving yards in a game, and it belongs to Judson Petty, a North Murray wide receiver who would’ve had an outstanding game even without his 16 receptions for 360 yards and four touchdowns.

Petty also rushed for 42 yards and had 11 solo tackles. Petty shared the game heroics with his quarterback, Skyler Williams, who passed for 461 yards and scored the winning touchdown, a 5-yard run with 29 seconds left, in a 44-37 victory at Pickens.

It’s hard to beat a state record, though. The previous best was held by Decatur’s Terryon Robinson, who had 322 yards receiving in a 2011 game against Riverwood.

Petty is GHSF Daily’s state Player of the Week. The award is sponsored by Sports Turf.
