Ousley is a junior.

Zyaire Hughes, also known as 'Fish', was the starting QB on the middle school teams. He's 6'0 and 170...though he looks bigger on the field. He has speed and quickness...very athletic. He was moved to wide receiver to take advantage of his athlecism instead of just solely being the backup QB. He does have a very good arm. I saw him play as an 8th grader and he threw a bullet from the 30 to the other 30. He probably threw the best single pass either for Paducah Tilghman or Lone Oak Saturday night. Hughes also has great leadership skills for his young age....takes personal responsibility for his mistakes almost to a fault. I've heard that by the time he's a senior he could well be the best player ever produced from Lone Oak (granted consolidation is next year.) The high school playbook is used by the middle school teams so Hughes doesn't have to learn a lot of new schemes. Highes should be able to ease into the position this week facing a weak Hopkinsville team. The running game was surprisingly effect against Tilghman, so if that continues it can only help his development. The next two games after Hoptown will be tests...at 6A Marshall County and at Christian County. Ousley could possible return by October 12 against Hopkins Central, the third game of the district schedule (Sep 21 Calloway County, Sep 28 at Owensboro).

Yes, Ousley is a junior.
