Continue ReadingThere were many great performances from this past week but a big shoutout has to go to Dripping Springs junior quarterback Austin Novosad Austin Novosad 6'4" | 195 lbs | QB Dripping Springs | 2023 State TX who threw for a remarkable seven touchdowns with no interceptions against McCollum on Friday. Check out all of the top performances from this past week!
1. Colin Page (SR-RB) – Anderson High School (Austin, TX)
Stats: 248 rushing yards, 3 rushing touchdowns
Page once again had an electric performance this past week included big runs, amazing displays of speed and excellent ball-carrier vision. Page has been such a force in Central Texas and for Anderson. With how its looking, Page will stand tall as one of the best running backs this year.
2. Cade Klubnik Cade Klubnik 6'2" | 180 lbs | QB Austin Westlake | 2022 State TX (SR-QB) – Westlake High School (Austin, TX)
Stats: 248 passing yards, 6 passing touchdowns, 1 interception
3. Case Brister (SR-RB) – Lampasas High School (Lampasas, TX)
Stats: 180 rushing yards, 2 rushing touchdowns, 11 total tackles
4. Alesandro Perez (JR-DL) – East View High School (Georgetown, TX)
Stats: 7 total tackles, 4 tackles for a loss, 3 sacks
Perez was dominant for the Patriots and was able to get into the backfield often, as shown by the stats alone. He would explode off the snap and would barely give the offensive linemen time to get set.
5. Kevin Adams II (SR-RB) – Cedar Park High School (Cedar Park, TX)
Stats: 134 rushing yards, 3 rushing touchdowns
6. Cody Marshall (SR-WR) – Cedar Park High School (Cedar Park, TX)
Stats: 4 receptions, 112 receiving yards, 2 receiving touchdowns
Cedar Park played one heck of a game against Georgetown and that includes Marshall. Not only was he dominant on receiving, but also on special teams. Georgetown is not an easy opponent, but plays on special teams regardless of the opponent can make the difference.
7. Mason Shorb Mason Shorb 6'3" | 175 lbs | QB Rouse | 2023 State TX (JR-QB) – Rouse High School (Leander, TX)
Stats: 267 passing yards, 4 passing touchdowns, 1 interception
Shorb again displayed his accuracy and calmness in the pocket. On top of that, he once again had an electric performance. As it has probably already been stated, Shorb is both accurate on short throws and deep throws and has quite the cannon of an arm.
8. Quinten Joyner (JR-RB) – Manor High School (Manor, TX)
Stats: 278 rushing yards, 3 rushing touchdowns
Both Manor and Leander decided to run the ball a lot against each other and it is safe to say Joyner came out on top in the rushing challenge. On top of his numbers, Joyner showcased his immense speed and his ability to avoid tackles. Opposing teams also have to make sure to not give him any open lanes because he can shoot up and score in the blink of an eye.
9. Austin Novosad Austin Novosad 6'4" | 195 lbs | QB Dripping Springs | 2023 State TX (JR-QB) – Dripping Springs High School (Dripping Springs, TX)
Stats: 250 passing yards, 7 passing touchdowns
10. Ryan Muniz (SR-QB) – C.H. Yoe High School (Cameron, TX)
Stats: 411 passing yards, 6 passing touchdowns
