Coach Justin Wheeler’s quote: “He’s really excelling right now and he’s really playing with confidence. It has been fun to watch him transform from a guy who replaced Haiden Garner in the starting lineup to a guy leading us and one of our stars. Against Homer-Center he was our go-to guy on several big third downs, and his transformation has been really special to watch.”
