Providence Christian’s Quinton Slaughter, Prince Avenue Christian’s Aaron Philo and Loganville’s Ahmed Souare finished the regular season as GHSA yardage leaders.
Slaughter, a 5-foot-9, 170-pound senior, rushed for 2,089 yards in 10 games. In 2022, he ran for only 302 yards on a team that won just two games. This season, Slaughter rushed for 389 in a single game, against playoff qualifier Union County on Oct. 13, and led the Storm to an 8-2 finish, best in Providence history.
Philo has led the state in passing the past two seasons, so his 3,131-yard effort is no surprise. He has a chance to pass for more than 4,500 yards for the third straight season. Philo was an AJC Super 11 preseason pick who is committed to Georgia Tech.
Souare, a 6-foot-3, 195-pound junior, is a rising prospect who burst on the scene this season after catching only seven passes in 2022. He finished this regular season with 65 receptions for 1,275 yards and 16 touchdowns. He went over 200 yards twice this season, most notably on Oct. 5, when he had 13 catches for 290 yards and four touchdowns against Clarke Central.
This is the final GHSF Daily yardage leaderboard of the season.
