Best Passing Attack in IL HS Football History?
- Thread starter DMurph11
- Start date
Rochester 2017. 72% completion rate, 3900 yards, 54 TD's, 2 INT's.
The 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.

Best passing "program" I'll say Rochester.
Best passing "team" Riverside Brasic's senior year.

I do not have stats to offer (just aging memories), but when Coach J.R. Bishop came to Naperville Central from Indiana, his offenses threw the rock around quite a bit for that time. One of his slingers in the early '80s was Sean Payton who went on to lead EIU's "Eastern Airlines" attack.

I believe Montini's QB that year with Rhode was out about 5 games that year with a broken finger on the passing hand but that offense was lethal.

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).
I'll let the season play out but should be fun.
That team was magical
I think that they had 3 1,000+ yards receivers and another that was within 100 yards of being there.
Everyone talks about Brasic, but what did the receivers do after high school?
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.
#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.
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.
In the 2011 title game against Richmond Burton, Wes threw for 506 yards and Zach had 259 in receiving. Richmond Burton ran for 516 yards and almost came from behind in a very close 42-39 Rocket win.
I know that but I was replying the actual list that posted for IL all time single season passing and he was not on it
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
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.
The most impressive stat that year was that he didn’t attempt a pass in 12 different quarters since they were up big.
