Where was Xavier Brown? He was supposed to be the dude. Where was he?

I don't know what his stats were for the game.  He looked good but he took a big hit in the 1st half and wasn't a huge part of the game.

Does anyone have Brown's stats?

I think his Uncle was a better Beechwood QB and probably the GOAT for Beechwood QBs but that is for another thread. 

Greg Hergott running Mike Yeagle's offense was different than any other offense we faced at Paris. During those days, for most other teams,  the formation tendencies were very strong. The Tigers could attack any area of a defense in most of their base sets. Very difficult to defend in regards to scheme. Throw in the talent level across the board, skill, up front, and Hergott at QB, they were an entirely different animal.

Congrats to LCA and Beechwood on excellent seasons.

I agree Coach and like Jason said Greg Hergott was a great LB and made most of the tackles on defense.

Hergs would also run you over if he had to. I remember the second round playoff game in 94 vs Lloyd he just lowered his shoulder.?

He could do it all, GOAT in my opinion, not just as a QB but as maybe the best Beechwood player ever.

Brandon Berger is in the top 2. I only saw him get caught from behind twice. Both of those came against Bardstown.

If I remember right Brandon was sick that game.  And as awesome as Brandon was, he was no Greg Hergott.
