Would the best QB in NKY history have to be a multiple year starter at the position? Could a one year starter be in the running? For example, Beau Hodge.

Quarterback... that is up for debate, but I would say Lorenzen or Guidugli.

 

I will also say this, had Brandent Englemon been in high school in this day and age he would have been recruited as a QB a lot more. I realized he played Safety on some good teams at Michigan but he would have been a DI QB somewhere if he desired the way offenses are run now.

Are we looking at just what they did in high school?

Lorenzen in the modern era, but I would consider Coach Mike Murphy who played at Holmes and UC. He would later go one to coach Highlands (2 state titles) and did a fantastic job at Newport in the mid 80's.

I played with Lorenzen and Guidugli and I would take Lorenzen over Gino by a hair. The factor to consider is they both had some freak talent around them: Stegman, Smith, Hamblen, Birkley. Some of the others on the list just had regular dudes on their team.

 

Still Lorenzen his senior year was unstoppable. I remember him taking a QB draw and in the hole was the biggest meanest LB on the other team.... Lorenzen trucked him like a rag doll, ran for a TD and they had to take the LB to the hospital. He could also throw the ball 70+ yards.

Maybe the thread should read the top 10 qb's in Nky history?

That sounds like an awesome idea! Anyone who wants to take a stab at their top 10 is absolutely welcome to do so.

I was going to say Beau. He might not have been the best QB, but he sure was a difference maker. Just think back to the CC Florida game and the state title game. WOW!
