Central Indiana’s Commanding QBs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The regular season is approaching the home stretch. For teams to go far into the postseason, solid quarterback play will likely be required. Throughout the season, QBs throughout the state have been putting together excellent seasons. Today, we are going to spend time looking at some of the position's most elite prospects in Central Indiana.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='371664' first='Thomas' last='Gotkowski'], 6'1, 185 pounds, Junior, Ben Davis</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='371664' first='Thomas' last='Gotkowski'] has been integral for the success that the Ben Davis Bulldogs have experienced so far this season. Gotkowski has found the mark on almost 65% of his passes, going 123/190. Gotkowski is averaging 228.7 passing yards per game. His four to one touchdown-to-interception ratio will give any defensive coordinator plenty to ponder. Gotkowski has added 119 rushing yards and three touchdowns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tyler Cherry, 6'5, Junior, Center Grove</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tyler Cherry has had the difficult task of keeping the Center Grove offense going after assuming the starting role. Cherry has piled up 1,329 yards on 77/114 through the air. He has been efficient in completing over 67% of his throws. Cherry has 14 touchdown passes. He protects the football well, having only thrown three interceptions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jackson Kazmierczak, 6'0, 186 pounds, Senior, Carmel</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Senior Jackson Kazmierczak has been impressive in his final campaign with the Greyhounds. Kazmierczak is nearing the 1,300-yard plateau, currently sitting just 14 yards below that mark. He has connected on 88 of 130 pass attempts. His efficiency in terms of completion percentage- which is 68%- is impressive, however, his ability to protect the football may be even more astounding. He has only thrown two picks to this point, while tossing a baker's dozen of touchdown passes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bryson Luter, 6'0, 176 pounds, Junior, Lawrence Central</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bryson Luter has been, and will continue to be key, for Lawrence Central's conference and state title aspirations. The signal-caller throws a terrific deep ball. He does an outstanding job of leading receivers down the field and giving the safeties reason to stay deep. That opens up many things for short passes and the running-game. Luter is still able to use his arm talent to hurt opposing defenses even when he is under pressure or forced to make a throw while on the move. Luter has put up 1,167 passing yards and 397 rushing yards. He has thrown seven touchdown passes and four interceptions. Luter added four rushing touchdowns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='384131' first='Christian' last='Abney'], 6'5, 210 pounds, Senior, Zionsville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='384131' first='Christian' last='Abney'] has been putting together a productive season for Zionsville.
