Campanaro rushed for 209 yards - his fourth 200-yard rushing game of the season - and two touchdowns in leading the top-ranked Hawks (9-0) to a 48-0 rout of Reservoir last week.
The 5-foot-10, 170-pound junior running back-defensive back also caught two passes for 42 yards and returned three punts for 49 yards to give him 300 all-purpose yards.
On the season, Campanaro has rushed for 1,243 yards and 17 touchdowns on 123 carries, caught eight passes for 226 yards and five touchdowns, and returned two punts for touchdowns. He has 24 touchdowns.
Campanaro, who cuts back well and is extremely elusive, has completed two passes for 94 yards and a touchdown as a quarterback in the Hawks' pistol offense, which is a short form of the shotgun.
