He did exactly what he was supposed to do, win. Funny how NFL quarterbacks aren't considered great unless they win a Super Bowl and you get a kid who takes him team to 28-0 over 2 seasons and he can't be considered one of the greatest because the competition sucked. Take his cape away. It only belongs to those who play in 7 and 8A.
He's one of the best to play in our state. The numbers bear that out. Hard to argue with two state titles 28 consecutive wins, and the numbers he has put up. And think about it, his sophomore year, his numbers were equally as silly. Just because the kid didn't play in the CCL Blue or one of the other power conferences shouldn't diminish his standing as one of the states best.
If you want to gauge him vs good competition, here are some of his numbers against traditional powers
6 TDS vs. Montini - over 200 yards rushing
4 TDS vs SHG 274 yards rushing
3 TDS vs Naz 155 yards rushing
These were all neutral site games. All playoff games.
2100 plus yards rushing his junior year
2100 plus yards rushing senior year
40 rushing TDs junior year - 56 total
38 rushing TDs senior year - 48 total.
So in two years he rushed for over 4,200 yards and accounted for 104 touchdowns. I cant dig up his sophomore year stats but I know he was right at 2000 yards that season as well and close to 40 TD's.
So if we average this out, he has rushed for over 6,000 yards and 140 plus TD's accounted for.
Sorry but if this isn't one of the states best, I must be missing something.
And one last thing. He is second all time in rushing Touchdowns in state history and top 7 in rushing yards.
