Jonah Campbell Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, North Brunswick got the W thanks in part to Jonah Campbell playing the best football he has all season. Campbell rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also threw for 117 yards and a touchdown while completing 75% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 62 yards.
Campbell and North Brunswick will square off against Laney at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Campbell will face off against Kolbe Little, the Buccaneers' star QB. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.
