I heard yesterday that the potential starting QB Chase Shugart has decided not to play football this season and focus on Baseball. Hearing that Byron Trahan the in coming freshman will be up for the job. He is a very good athlete.

Not putting the young man down - I don't even know him - but, doesn't "In coming freshman" speak volumes.  So he has Pee Wee experience and on up thru the 8th grade experience?  If a program is forced to put their field generalship in the hands of an incoming freshman then that program is in trouble no matter how good an athlete the in coming freshman is.  And, the experience of that potential disaster could ruin a
potentially great athlete for the rest of his
career.  Just a realistic observation. :(

or make him drive harder to make the program be better... if he can come in and pull off a win or two or more he will be better for it... sometimes adversity makes a person strive to change it... if he is an athlete... I think he would look adversity in the face and kick dirt at it... :-D

Freshman varsity qbs are not too uncommon on the small school ranks. The first yr may be a down yr if the rest of the team isnt quite up to par. If the kid plays i hope BC has a running game in place.

When you have to replace 1 position its rough but can be worked around... but when you lose two key players in two key positions RB and QB that's a hard row to hoe... especially if you use a Fresh at QB... just no continuity with the jrs and srs on the field... not that it can't be achieved but still a rough patch.. .

Both Hunter and Shugart were starters on defense too.

Chase will be playing football. He thought about it long and hard but decided he loves it to much not play.

THATS GREAT!! I am sure if he didn't he would of regretted it for many years to come... I pray nothing happens on the gridiron to hamper his path forward in baseball...

Very poetic, Coach.  Not all athletes are able to kick dirt in the face of adversity (No. 57 in your program).  Take any given Superbowl game.  There will be a winner and there will be a loser.  The loser faced adversity and didn't/couldn't overcome it.  So was it that they didn't have any athletes that could kick dirt or was it that the winning team had more dirt kicking athletes than the losing team.  As I mentioned, I don't know the young man.  I'm certain that he is an
outstanding athlete and I wish him well in his career.  I'm just saying that if I'm the head coach I'm very, VERY, reluctant to hand the starting QB position to a 14 year old.  He's probably going to be my QB next year, the
next year, and the year after that.  But I'm not throwing him into the swamp as a freshman.  But, he may also be mature beyond his years.  You just have to be there, I guess :-\
