Senior quarterback Chelsea Njoku is 234-of-401 passing for 2,957 yards and 51 touchdowns and has led McEachern to a 17-0 overall record and a 5-0 record in Division 4, Area 3.
And after a 20-0 victory against Calvary Day – where Njoku was 17-of-24 passing for 165 yards and a touchdown – she overtook Division 1 No. 4 Columbus’ quarterback Serenity Hickman as the state’s passing leader.
Albeit narrowly.

Hickman, who has helped lead Columbus to a 15-5 record, is 210-of-323 passing for 2,942 yards and 60 touchdowns. She is coming off a season-high in a 45-6 victory against Northside-Columbus on Nov. 7 where she was 18-of-22 passing for 256 yards and six touchdowns.
Katie Smith – Division II, No. 1 Locust Grove’s star quarterback — leads in passing touchdowns with 63 and is 257-of-371 passing for 2,849 yards.
