WNC high school football 2022 full regular season stat leaderboard
The 2022 North Carolina high school football regular season has come to a close, finalizing the WNC stat leaderboards the Citizen Times has been updating on a weekly basis since the beginning of the year.
No passer could come close to matching Asheville Christian Academy quarterback Javier Rice's output in the Lions' air-it-out offense. A big Week 11 performance allowed Robbinsville running back Cuttler Adams to finish atop a crowded list of top rushers, and West Henderson wide receiver Truitt Manuel's monster game in the regular-season finale sprung him to the top of the receiving leaderboard. Madison safety Caden Hilemon was the area's leading tackler, helping the Patriots clinch their first playoff berth since 2016.
The leaderboard will next be updated after the final WNC team is eliminated from the playoffs.
