Here’s a look at the classification’s statistical leaders in key categories as the regular season enters the home stretch:
BOYS
Keundre Campbell, Webster County, 23.7 points per game. The 6-3 sophomore guard leads the state in scoring. He was considered one of the top freshman in the state last season. The Bobcats are 6-12 overall.

He also plays football (DB/WR) for the Red Devils, who are 5-10 overall. (Aaron Northcutt of Landmark Christian was averaging 12.7 boards per game before an injury in December sidelined him for the season.)
Dwon Odum, St. Francis, 7.8 assists per game. The 6-1 point guard also averages 16 points per game for the Knights, who are 17-1 and the top ranked private school team in the AJC top 10. He already reportedly holds offers from Georgia Tech, Rutgers, Virginia Tech and Virginia.
Amari McGriff, Lanier County, 4.5 blocks per game. The 6-6 sophomore's presence around the rim is one reason the Bulldogs are 18-2 and ranked No. 4 in the public school top 10.
Ny'Jel Bacon, Lanier County, 4.1 steals per game. The 5-10 senior guard leads a swarming Bulldog defense that averages 14 steals per game.
