Cook takes No. 1 spot in rushing

Chattooga’s Zayden Cook is the state’s new rushing leader after a 338-yard effort last week in a 45-20 victory over Mount Zion of Carroll County. Cook has rushed for 849 yards and 11 touchdowns on just 60 carries.

Cook is more than a running back, though. He’s an inside linebacker who is second on his team in tackles, averaging eight per game. He’s playing 125-130 plays per game.

Cook also is a four-sport athlete. He won the 110-meter hurdles at the Class A Division I meet last spring and was the state runner-up wrestler in the 175-weight division. He plays soccer when his schedule allows.

Cook participates in Chattooga’s SkillsUSA TeamWorks and represents plumbing on the four-man team that finished 14th during a national competition in Atlanta last summer.

As for his football running skills, Chattooga coach Roone Gable said, “He is a combination of speed and strength.” Cook is 5 feet, 10 inches and 195 pounds. He has been timed around 4.5 seconds across 40 yards at camps.

“He rushed for more than 1,000 yards as a junior behind an inexperienced, young offensive line last year in the first year of a new scheme,” Gable said. “As the line has gotten a year older, bigger and stronger in the weight room, it has allowed Zayden to show more of what he is capable of.”

Cook has one Division I offer, from Wofford.

This is the GHSA yardage leaderboard through the first four weeks of the regular season.

How can teen athletes

prevent muscle cramps?

Heat, dehydration and improper stretching or warmups can increase a growing athlete’s chance of getting muscle cramps. These tips can help teens prevent cramps and keep them on the field. 

1. Drink plenty of water before practice: Thirty minutes before any sports activity, teens should drink water until they are no longer thirsty and then drink another 8 ounces.
2. Continue hydrating: Athletes should drink 8 ounces of either water or electrolyte beverages every 20 minutes of exercise. Electrolyte drinks are great recovery drinks after practice or games.
3. Stretch muscles every day and before activity: Whether it’s a dynamic warmup or activity-specific stretching, athletes should do some kind of warmup before and after any sports activity to prevent cramps.
4. Avoid sudden increase in activity: When returning from the offseason, slowly ease athletes back into activity over a few weeks’ time.

Today’s featured inductee is former Wayne County and Georgia football star and 14-year NFL center Len Hauss. Hauss will be inducted into the Georgia High School Football Hall of Fame on Oct. 26 at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.

Len Hauss

Wayne County High School Graduate

Len Hauss was a 14-year NFL center and five-time Pro Bowl pick with the Washington Redskins. As a high school player, Hauss was the star fullback and linebacker of Wayne County’s Class AA championship team of 1959 and semifinal team of 1958. Hauss made first-team AJC all-state both seasons. In the 1959 state championship game, Hauss rushed for 140 yards and three touchdowns in a 35-7 victory over Rossville. He also recovered two fumbles. In a must-win region-title game weeks earlier, he rushed for 110 yards and scored the winning touchdown. He was credited with 10 tackles per game as a senior. John Donaldson, the coach of two state championship Wayne County teams, called Hauss “the most vicious tackler I’ve seen in high school.” Hauss started or played significantly all four years of high school. In college, he was switched from fullback to center by Georgia coach Wally Butts. Hauss started for two seasons, then was a ninth-round NFL Draft pick. Hauss was a 14-year starter who made 192 consecutive starts. He was the Redskins’ top lineman on their 1972 Super Bowl team under coach George Allen. Hauss was inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 1981 and the Washington Football Ring of Fame in 2002. After retiring from football, Hauss worked in the banking industry. He died in 2021 in his hometown of Jesup.

Carrollton plays Gainesville tonight in a game between two of the top seven Georgia programs in all-time victories. What are the other five schools in the top seven? (Answer Monday)

Answer to Thursday’s question: The fastest-growing nickname in the GHSA is the Titans, which is shared by Blessed Trinity, Discovery, Drew, Lake Oconee Academy, North Oconee, Northview, Towers and Turner County. There was only one Titans, at Towers in DeKalb County, until this century. Towers opened in 1964. Now there are eight. Turner County adopted Titans in place of Rebels in 2021. The other schools opened since 2000. The second-fastest growing nickname is Eagles, with six additions since 2000.
