But for five teams, advancing to the next round depends on these semi-secret weapons:1. Preston Townley, Huffman The junior's stats are impressive, completing 198 of 329 passes for 2,547 yards and 29 touchdowns, and come Friday he will try to lead the Falcons past Navasota at Woodforest Stadium. 2. Jake Blakeledge, Clear SpringsWhen the Chargers face Port Arthur Memorial on Saturday at Stallworth Stadium, Blakeledge, who has started the last eight games for Clear Springs, will try to add to his totals of 2,526 passing yards and 36 TDs. 3. Troy Mitchell, Cypress fallsThe senior has completed 143 of 216 passes for 2,371 yards. He has thrown for 29 touchdowns and rushed for 515 yards and nine scores. The Eagles face Lamar on Friday at Tully Stadium. 4. Andres Herrera, DaytonThe senior has a tough challenge this weekend as he tries to lead the Broncos past Magnolia West on Saturday at Galena Park ISD Stadium. But he has a lot of experience in the playoffs and this year alone has 2,430 passing yards, 448 rushing yards and 27 total touchdowns. 5. Lance Miles, The WoodlandsWhen the Highlanders face Round Rock Westwood on Saturday at Waco ISD Stadium, they will rely on Miles, who has 2,122 passing yards and 24 TDs. Last week in a bi-district victory over Klein Collins, he threw for 318 yards and four touchdowns.

latinladym Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 I agree with everybody on the list but Herrera for a few reasons. I am not hating on him, he does remind me a little of the "old Michael Vick", but his offensive line gives him plenty of time to throw the ball or take off running, if they are not rushed. If he is rushed then he collapses. He does have good arm strength, but to me in my personal opinion he does not do well outside the pocket. Again I am not hating on him. He is a good athlete, again I am not hating.

But he succeed's in the offense that he has been given and has adapted to it very well. He's not the fastest or biggest guy on the field but he runs the offense very well. He's really quick and shifty which makes him hard to tackle in the open field. What makes him the most dangerous is his years of experience running the Dayton offense. AH does very well with what he has and makes the most of it. Now go flick your boogers somewhere else latin lover.
diego cruz Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 dayton qb seemed to have a strong arm the game i saw vs. png
diego cruz Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 the townley kid is very good also.

liltex Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 Llm could you please give us uneducated football fans your idea of a good hs qb.Please give us names of qb's that for 3 straight yrs has thrown for a completion ratio over 67% near 6,000 total yds led his team in 9 post season playoff games.
latinladym Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 I did read the article and again I am not taking anything away from the Herrera or the Dayton offense. But when he is rushed he doesn't make good decisions with the ball. The game against PN-G he had all freaking day to throw and yes the defense wasn't putting enough pressure on him. But when they did he did not make his completions. He is a good athlete and does have a good arm, I was not disputing that. Again, when he is not pressured he has all day to choose where he wants to throw the ball and make an accurate throw which he does at least 80% of the time. And when he decides to run, he gets big runs, so again he has some skills. Once again, I am not hating but if you Dayton fans can't take criticism.....oh well!!!!!!! 8) 8) 8)

You're entitled to your opinion. ;)
latinladym Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 thanks I appreciate your response!!! ;)
robanadana Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 The "Greater Houston Area" never includes players east of the Trinity river, so this is all B.S. to me. 20-4A has three QBs who would fit this bill. Raines, Green and Quirante come to mind.
liltex Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 True dat but the Bmt/Orange area newspapers never put anything sports related this direction either.As a matter of fact they shunned Dayton when we were in that dist 06-07.The Surprize did a huge article on dist teams w/pictures of coaches,players,cheer,band.Every single team except Dayton who's considered out of the coverage area.No pun intended but in my old arse Bob Dylan song voice"How does it feeeeeel,how does it feeeeeel,to be own your ownnnn,with no direction oorrrr ;D ;D
7mary3 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 I think Lil'Tex got you on that one Bananarama....as a matter of fact Dayton didnt make the papers over there until they were switched out of the GT district, now thats sum BS lol....but yall were glad the butt kick'ns were going to stop ;D
