Arundel's Harris worth watching too
There’s more than one state record setter on Arundel’s No. 1 football team.
R.J. Harris can sometimes get overshadowed by quarterback Billy Cosh, who breaks his own state passing records every game. Harris, however, is setting some records of his own. He’s the one catching most of those passes.
The senior wide receiver scored one touchdown in Friday’s regional semifinal win over Annapolis to boost a couple of his own state records. He has 25 receiving touchdowns this season, breaking the old mark of 23 shared by two of his former Wildcats teammates, Brandon Johnson-Farrell in 2007 and Alec Lemon in 2008.
He also holds the state career mark for most receiving touchdowns with 45, which also broke a two-year old Johnson-Farrell record of 40.
When asked recently about the state records, Harris said he didn't even know he was getting close to any state records.
"To tell you the truth, I had no idea about it. My dad told me about it (after he broke the first one), but I had no idea. It felt great, because I worked hard, but that wasn't my goal. My goal wasn't to set records. Of course, it's fun and all, but our main goal is to win a state title."
