The fact that you ATLCat said Henry Clay plays a lot of kids both ways causes me to severely question if you've actually seen them play or not because in most if not all years, Coach Simpson uses the platoon system playing only 1 or 2 kids both ways unless absolutely necessary.
James has not played QB since the Scott Co game. He is injured. #15 has been HC's QB and played the Entire Game, thus the QB carousel ending. IMHO 15 is also a better passer than James. This changes their entire offense. A lot of times ealry this year, James, #15, #16, and another kid played QB.
You may want to consider that was the first game of the season. Henry Clay is a lot better than that now. Back then they were still playing the QB carousel. The kid that played the entire game at QB for Henry Clay friday night looked really good.
Still "not so fast my friend". Still looking to see who the qb is and questions in the secondary. HC has got talent. It's just them putting it all together.
With those things considered, just inside the top15 is where I'd put them.
