He's playing like a generational quarterback and is having one of the best freshman seasons we've ever seen from a quarterback in the peach state. He's played like seasoned veteran and played that way once again against a talented Walton defense in round three. It was a tough task, but once again, Lewis made it look easy, going 22/32 for 333 yards and 4 TDs in a big 52-27 Trojan victory. The arm talent is easy to see, but his ball placement, leadership, and decision making make him already one of the top overall prospects in Georgia and one of the best 2026 prospects in the country. He's been excellent all season long and will have to play at a high level once again against Colquitt County in the 7A semi-finals this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MattDeBary/status/1596359034445398016?s=20u0026t=I2WIO3tJDjVzC0zv_jtmAQ","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MattDeBary/status/1596359034445398016?s=20&amp;t=I2WIO3tJDjVzC0zv_jtmAQ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Prentiss "Air" Noland</strong> - <strong>Langston Hughes</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another week, another big performance from the elite 2024 gunslinger for Langston Hughes.
