The Leaderboard: Meadowcreek's Williams tops 2,000 yards rushing

BRANDEN CAMP/SPECIAL

BRANDEN CAMP/SPECIAL

Chauncey Williams of Meadowcreek became the first 2,000-yard rusher in Georgia last week with a 174-yard effort against Parkview that put him at 2,010 for the season.

Williams is the first player to rush for more than 2,000 yards in the highest classification since Sihiem King of Colquitt County ran for 2,090 in 2014. It took King 15 games to get there. Williams has played nine. Meadowcreek plays at Norcross tonight.

Williams is also the first 2,000-yard rusher from Gwinnett County since Jacorey Lewis of Mill Creek (2,317 in 13 games) and Alvin Kamara of Norcross (2,264 yards in 15 games) in 2012.

The last player from the highest classification to hit 2,000 yards in the regular season is not researched, though it probably is Kenny Miles, who ran for 2,544 in 12 games for Brookwood in 2007, or Caleb King, who rushed for 2,768 yards in 13 games for Parkview in 2005.

Another Gwinnett player who is close to a record is Malachi Carter. The Mountain View wide receiver had 176 yards receiving last week against Discovery and stands at 1,214 on the season. The Gwinnett County record is 1,385 yards, set by Major Bellamy of Central Gwinnett in 2015.

The state's leader in receiving yards is now Jordan "Mega" Young of Heritage in Conyers. Young had a season-high 224 yards receiving in a 40-35 victory over Alcovy last week and has 1,237 on the season. Heritage plays Region 3-AAAAAA leader Evans this week.
