Leon Holmes Shines as North Augusta Rusher
Leon Holmes, a 5-9 188 pound junior running back, powers North Augusta with 264 carries for 1474 yards and 16 touchdowns. Despite limited line play, coach Hubert Morris says Holmes is a key playmaker and the team eyes a Region 3- AAAA playoff berth after a 6-3 season with one game left against Dorman. Holmes credits the line and teammate Joe Thomas for support while noting fears of fumbling and past knee injury.
