ARDEN — When winter rolls around, Christ School junior Drew Johnson intends to be an impact player on the basketball court.
Watch out if Johnson's jumper is as half as good as his spiral.
Johnson completed all but four of his 17 attempts Friday for 385 passing yards and five touchdowns in a 46-34 win over visiting Concord First Assembly Christian.
The first-year quarterback from Boiling Springs, S.C., has racked up 1,465 yards or an average of 244.2 yards per game for the Greenies (5-2) since their Sept. 18 win over the Anderson (S.C.) Cavaliers was a forfeit.
Jared Letman-Gash caught four of Friday’s touchdowns (15, 58, 66 and 69 yards) and finished with four receptions for 208 yards. Kokayi Cobb stretched out a pass from Johnson into a 95-yard touchdown with just 1 minute, 57 seconds to go before halftime.
“It was a pretty unbelievable night,” Christ School coach Mark Moroz said.
“Even Drew’s incompletions were drops. We left a lot of points out there and we let them back in it a little after being up 34-6 at halftime. Luckily we held. It’s a good win against a quality team.”
In addition to his receiving, Cobb rushed for 166 yards. Landon Cook scored Christ School's second touchdown on a 1-yard tote.
The Greenies return to Fayssoux Field next week for a 7 p.m. home matchup with Rabun Gap (Ga.).
