Saturday’s South Jersey roundup: Woodrow Wilson’s Nick Kargman sets state passing record

Woodrow Wilson quarterback Nick Kargman set a New Jersey record with 539 yards passing as the Tigers, the Inquirer's No. 4 ranked team, topped No. 19 Cedar Creek, 59-37, on Saturday.

Kargman broke the mark of 536 yards set by Timber Creek's Danny Williams in 2013. It was the second record Kargman toppled this season as he set the South Jersey mark with eight touchdown passes just two weeks ago in a win against Camden Catholic.

"To break two records in the first four games of a season, that has to be a record in itself," Woodrow Wilson coach Preston Brown told the Inquirer.

Woodrow Wilson, now 4-0, trailed 17-13 at halftime. Kargman had 136 yards passing in the first half and no touchdowns. He threw for 403 yards and four touchdowns in the second half to lead the comeback win. Brown said Kargman completed 14 passes in a row at one point.

Kargman leads South Jersey with 1,598 yards and 20 touchdowns, according to NJ.com. He currently holds scholarship offers from Rutgers and Jackson State.

"There's a lot more to come," Brown said. "His poise, confidence and commitment to getting better, I would imagine there will be a number of schools getting in line…My job is to keep him humble and hungry."
