Njoku, Hickman separated by 11 yards in passing race; Updated flag football rankings

McEachern has kept its undefeated season alive and in the past two weeks, the Indians have pieced together several big, ranked victories to remain ranked atop Division 4, the states highest in flag football.

McEachern defeated Division 2 No. 2 Allatoona 21-7 and Division 3 No. 2 Blessed Trinity 33-7 on Nov. 14 and moved past Division 3 No. 3 Pace Academy 19-0 and Marietta 34-0 Monday.

Quarterback Chelsea Njoku leads the state in passing yardage and is 295-of-492 passing for 3,591 yards and 64 touchdowns and is a big part of the puzzle for McEachern's potent offense. In the victory against Blessed Trinity, Njoku was 19-of-26 passing for 239 yards and four touchdowns.

Njoku narrowly -- by just 11 yards -- leads Columbus quarterback Serenity Hickman in the passing race. However, Hickman has passed for a few more touchdowns than Njoku.

Hickman is 256-of-398 passing for 3,580 yards and 72 touchdowns to lead the Division 1 No. 4-ranked Blue Jackets. Hickmans favorite targets are senior Alexandria Lofton (30 touchdown receptions) and sophomore Harmony Franklin (23 touchdown receptions).

South Forsyth, Paulding County, Denmark and Cherokee fill out the Division 4 top 5. In Division 3, Milton maintains its top spot in the poll ahead of Blessed Trinity, Pace Academy, Pope and Langston Hughes.

Locust Grove remains undefeated 18-0 and leads the Division 2 standings ahead of Allatoona, Greenbrier, Loganville and Oconee County. In Division 1, Southeast Bulloch is 12-0 and ranked at the top of the Division ahead of Dodge County, Harris County, Columbus and Redan.
