Old people and AI are a dangerous combination. I could've just told you it was an early Halloween gesture. But, the original picture had a scary old guy that no one wants to see. Trust me on that. 🎃

Thank you for giving us a vivid example of the dangers of AI.

We know the KHSAA hasn't updated its Records/Stats list in several years. Looking at QB stats from 2019-2026 (1,138 players), here are updated TDs and yards. Four new QBs should be added to the top 10 by the end of the season.

6 Players from the 2020s are in the updated top 10. *Jack James played for five years (2020 - COVID). Zane Johnson is now sitting at #15.

Looking at remaining games and potential games, I project that Zane Johnson will finish with 137 TDs +/- 5, new #6

Kade Goodin currently has 101 TDs and will pull ahead of Zane in the regular season, but fall behind during the playoffs; he should finish with 132 TDs +/- 5 new #10

Dremail Carothers currently has 92 TDs, and his projected to end with 125 TDs +/- 5 new #14

CAL, Junior Jackson Burke, currently has 101 TDs and is projected to finish with 149 TDs +/- 5, and should be the new #2.
