Kicking around a topic on here - In your opinion what was the best passing attack in the history of the state?
A couple early ones that come to mind are the Otto Z. RB teams and the Westerkamp Montini team that hung 70pts on JCA in the title game.

Sure, on paper lots of weapons and by all accounts a very good QB (albeit no varsity experience as a starter if they go with Palmer).Murph, what about St Francis next year? They had a good offense last year.
Was that the year that they finished 3rd in the state? LOLThe RB team with Tim Brasic in 2001 was the best high school passing offense I have witnessed. 5000 yards and 62 touchdowns in 12 games.
That team was magicalWas that the year that they finished 3rd in the state? LOL
2 INTs... that's remarkable.Rochester 2017. 72% completion rate, 3900 yards, 54 TD's, 2 INT's.
#19 Bradyn Little gets another shot to move up the list this year. Kid's got a cannon. Hopefully his daddy lets him air it out even more this year.2003 Maine South

WWS '98
Zach Grant was Wes's main receiver in 2011. He played at St Ambrose for a year and then several years with Wes at the U of I. Zach now coaches at SIUC.2 INTs... that's remarkable.
And of note, I personally witnessed Wes Lunt absolutely dismantle secondary's without breaking a sweat. I'd take them personally over 2017. Who was that main target Lunt had? Zac something? Maybe? That kid was one of the most impressive ball hawks I've seen in person in my life. Dude just found a way to come down the ball seemingly every time it got thrown his way.
I know that but I was replying the actual list that posted for IL all time single season passing and he was not on itIt was the first response.
It looks like he's just off the list at 3400 yards that season. https://www.news-gazette.com/sports...cle_00f5a2cd-1839-57ec-9104-f3966b37a429.htmlI know that but I was replying the actual list that posted for IL all time single season passing and he was not on it
He had 3400 going into the state championship then threw for 490 yards and 6 TD so he finished at 3890 yards and 60 TDs. The list is wrong.It looks like he's just off the list at 3400 yards that season. https://www.news-gazette.com/sports...cle_00f5a2cd-1839-57ec-9104-f3966b37a429.html
