Peach County Line Earns State Offensive Line Award

Peach County's offensive line collected the AJC Varsity Offensive Line of the Week honor after a 48-12 win over Howard. The group consists of Eli Johnson, Phorrest Sinkfield, Hunter Hill, Khazion Harris and Alex Marshall, with tight end Clifford Ford. They opened running lanes for 352 rushing yards and protected the pass game for 237 more. The performance moved Ashton Barton past the 1,000-yard mark for the season, with his total standing at 1,098 yards.

Peach County is 8-0 on the season. Through eight games the Trojans average 282.0 rushing yards and 167.6 passing yards per contest. Offensive line coach Josh Schuyler works with that group.

Other Gwinnett County linemen turned up in the same report. Central Gwinnett's front of Ty Zellar, Matt Morillo, BJ Aaron, Oscar Ramirez and Jayln Turner produced 409 yards in a 34-20 win over Seckinger, with 247 on the ground and 162 through the air. The Gwinnett line for Collins Hill is Drew Godwin, Dominic Oyekam, Jayden Johnson, Dulin Jelani, Maddox Smith, Liam Black, Gabe Gardner, Michael Peters and Reid Springs. That group averaged 163.5 yards per game.

The recognition is handed out by the AJC Varsity staff. Todd Holcomb, who covers high school sports across the state, rejoined the AJC in 2025 and has worked with the paper in various roles since 1985. He is a co-founder and editor of Georgia High School Football Daily.

Peach County returns to action after the win over Howard. The Trojans have not lost a game this season.
