Players with biggest offensive numbers in Week 1

GHSF Daily will begin running a yardage leaderboard three weeks into the season. In the meantime, here are several GHSA players who hit milestones with 200 yards rushing, 250 yards passing or 150 yards receiving in the opening week of the season.

Wayne County’s Matthew Fuller, GHSF Daily’s state Player of the Week, rushed for 291 yards in a 49-20 victory over Bradwell Institute. Fuller is a preseason Georgia Power 100 player and a 2022 first-team all-state pick who is committed to South Carolina, so his performance, though it was a career high, was not surprising.

Athens Academy’s Hampton Johnson, making his first varsity start, was more of a breakout star with his 367 yards passing in a 42-7 victory over Dade County. His total is believed two be only two yards short of Palmer Bush's school record.

The most yards for a receiver was the 249 on seven catches by Turner County’s Ke’Arrin Dawsey in 22-21 victory over Worth County. Here is Dawsey’s 77-yard TD reception on Albany’s WALB-TV.
