Another week is in the books in Washington, and there were numerous impressive performances by some QB's across the state. Here's a look at five QB's who impressed:   [player_tooltip player_id="87404" first="Gabarri" last="Johnson"], Lincoln '23<img class="size-medium wp-image-201305 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/09/central-300x229.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="229" /> The dual-threat QB had himself a huge game, as he threw for 285 yards and 5 TD’s while adding another 110 yards on the ground with a TD. Johnson is an extremely dangerous kid on any given play, as he has the ability to change the game in a split second with his arm or on the ground. He delivers with a high release with good arm strength, showing the ability to hit throws with velocity. Solid top end speed as a ball carrier, as he just continues to open eyes and impress.   [player_tooltip player_id="87431" first="Micah" last="Balzarini"], Puyallup '23 Balzarini was literally perfect on the W over Rogers, completing 9-9 passes for 254 yards and 3 TD’s while only playing the first half. He made decisive reads and delivered with a quick release, as the ball just zips out of his hand, flashing solid velocity on numerous throws. He showed the ability to deliver accurate throws on the move in both directions without sacrificing mechanics, and flashed the ability to extend plays and find receivers downfield.   Kole Hunsaker, Lakeside '23 Hunsaker threw for 266 yards and 4 TD’s to play a major part on the 41-8 win over Colville. He showed the ability to check plays at the LOS to take advantage of a very wide 2-high shell to hit a post with accurate timing and placement for six. He was very efficient in the redzone as he showed the ability to throw receivers open numerous times. Hunsaker also did a good job extending plays to buy time and found receivers deep downfield. Solid night overall for Hunsaker.   [player_tooltip player_id="87348" first="Trent" last="Nobach"], Arlington '22<img class="size-medium wp-image-208640 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/09/3-300x157.png" alt="" width="300" height="157" /> Nobach once again had himself a solid performance, as he went 10-13 for 232 yards and 4 TD’s on the blowout win over Marysville Getchell. He showed the ability to step up in the pocket with good anticipation for routes/concepts to develop and deliver accurate throws on a rope. Nobach has really been showcasing his arm talent throughout his senior season, as he is 108/154 for 1,560 yards and 21 TD's through 6 games, as he should start to climb up your recruiting boards.   [player_tooltip player_id="199154" first="Kaiden" last="Rivera"], Prosser '22 Rivera put up 290 yards and 3 TD’s on the double OT win against Ellensburg. He stands tall in the pocket with excellent poise when he has time to throw, and delivers throws with solid touch. He threw the game winner in 2OT, and put on a huge performance to help Prosser secure the hard fought W.
