Christian "Deuce" Lawrence was one special talent all season long, but he broke the rushing record in the state title game going for 380 yards rushing and 5 touchdowns adding 20 yards receiving giving him a 400 total yard performance on the night. Lawrence had a night to remember, and he will take those exceptional talents to Wake Forrest next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1089005"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6948627fe1417"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='2003933' first='Jaylen' last='Johnson'] has been one of the most underrated quarterbacks in all of the Peach State for his four years but what he has done hasn't gone unnoticed. Johnson had an incredible performance as well in the state title win which was his second one in his four years at Thomas County Central. Johnson had a four-touchdown performance with 165 through the air with 2 TDs and 75 rushing with 2 TDs and was unstoppable through the air and on the ground during their title win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["283806"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6948627fe1465"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cam Wood was a very impactful back all game long in the state title games just as he was all season long.

Green didn't just do it through the ground but on defense as well having 5 total tackles and four of those being solo tackles.

Each and every year, Georgia brings a terrific number of exciting players into the state championship games and this year in all classifications, it did not disappoint.
