Who is going to be the best quarterback in the state next year??

[SKINPIG]

In SEKY, the 3 QB's to watch will be:

 

Clint Cashen (Corbin)

Ricky Bowling (South Laurel)

Thomas Frazier (Williamsburg)

Ross Deaton (Somerset)

Clay County's young QB (I am sorry, but I can't recall his name temporarily, but he was very solid last year as a frosh I believe)

 

Clay's young QB is Zach Lewis, and yes, he will be a Soph next year.

[3wishes]

Off the subject but I'd say Clay County will have the best backup as well in the district at QB. The 8th grader was pretty good last year himself.

[DMZ76]

Keep an eye on the junior Jay Draper of Highlands this year. A QB is only as effective as his line allows...and HHS has an experienced line coming back. Jay is very knowledgable and VERY accurate. Strong arm allows him to make all the throws. Only thing that will hurtt him is the STRONG running game of the Birds. (misspelled on purpose!). All Jay will do is "just win, baybeee!"

Mike Jones of Southwestern will be a big time quarterback this year watch for him to make some noise

That's the one. He looks to have a very bright future. I hope to get to see him play this season. Heard a lot about him last year! :thumb:

Who the heck is Mike Jones?

 

 

j/k , the joke is based on a rap song and rapper by the same name.

 

I have heard about this kid and he is supposed to be a solid QB.

Agreed. Sparky showed a strong arm and command of the offense. Looked to me all that needed to be worked on was a timing issue with the recievers. Jay was throwing the deep ball well as his targets were breaking open. On a couple of occasions the recievers seemed to slow as they turned to look for the ball. Repition of route running over the summer will solve that. One thing Draper showed some flashes of that I have not seen from him previously, was some craftiness while running the ball. He seemed to tuck it and run at very opportune times picking up nice gains. Also thought Jake Turner did a very good job with the 2s. Also agree that running attack may be one of the best in the state, if they choose to go in that direction.:ylsuper:

I think Dale felt going into spring ball that we'd have a predominate running offense next year. After watching spring ball, my guess is that we will be 50/50 on offense. Draper looked very good. And Cecil still hasn't had the opportunity to show his stuff due to a nagging injury, that seems to have been solved. Any concern about Highlands replacing their qb, seems to have been disspelled by Draper's performance. And he did that against Highlands primarily first defense which will be very, very good next year.

The best Quarterback next year will definatly be Chaz Hope for madison central

[nptwildcat]

My vote goes to Hesch of Newport he has been one of the top QB's in NKY the past 2 years. It will be interesting to see what types of numbers he puts up his Senior year with new receivers.

[NEERFAN]

Numbers wise I agree Wildcat, he should end up with some nice career numbers.

[THEGREENDANDY]

Probably will be a contender for top 10 in the State, in Class 4A.

Just a few tid-bits.

1. the current 2005/2006 school year is his Sophmore year;

2. Lasered 4.7 - 40 as a Sophmore;

3. Prior to freshman year had NEVER taken a snap at the QB position (was always over the CSAA weight limit for a skilled position);

4. Had second longest run in the 2005 State Championship Game; and

5. Highest average yards per carry in the 2005 State Championship Game.

 

I think Zoeller and Wade will battle for the starting spot. You can never count out a senior.

[Russelldad]

Russells Tyler Jones will be pretty good next year but then again you wont see much throwing in the wing t

[XCard]

Who will be calling signals at St. X? Will it be #11 or will #3 slide in? or somebody else?

I would say Zoeller is the front runner at this point. I have heard rumor of a knee problem. the extent and timing of repair(if necessary) could play a big role in whose there for 7 on 7 and in top form come August. Senior Chris Wade is not out of the picture. Not great footspeed but a good, accurate arm. I think Hall will certainly get his reps, as he is most likely the QB of the future. And yes...you will see #3 behind center as well. The Tiger offense will role this year.
