B.C. QB can sling it. accurate passer from the pocket & on the run. Made every throw on the field with solid arm strength.

Seen the BC QB play a couple times last year, kid is good. Did not see any QB play for Lumberton in the Nederland game that was better than the B.C. QB, imo.

LAKE CREEK Lettermen R/L: 25/22 Starters O/D: 7/5 2023: 12-1 region semifinalist/6-0 district. 2024 Key Players RB Tyvon Byars (5-9, 210, 4.6) QB Eli Morcos (6-2, 205, 4.6) DB Tyraun Pier (5-11, 170, 4.5) OL Hunter McKinney (6-5, 285) LB Davis Lee (5-10, 190, 4.6) 2024 notes: The Lions are an impressive 24-2 the past two seasons and last year was especially heartbreaking as LCHS fell by three in the regional semifinals to eventual state champions Port Neches-Groves. RB Byars (1,450 yards, 31 TDs rushing) has put up monster numbers the past two seasons and is primed for an encore campaign as a senior. QB Morcos tossed 11 touchdowns a year ago and is back after starting all 13 games for the Lions in 2023. Lake Creek’s defense is led by LB Lee (140 tackles), who is undersized but has great speed and covers a ton of ground. DB Pier has elite speed and coverage ability in the secondary. Kennedy says experience on the offensive line and having two key offensive leaders returning will be vital in 2023.
