<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Texas High School season is coming to an end and the playoffs are on the horizon. Teams are finishing up the last week of the regular season and their sights are set on the postseason. The teams that make deep runs have a veteran presence under center. Quarterbacks who have that it factor, who have ice in their veins and have the ability to make the winning plays in crunchtime are players who lead their teams to wins in the second season. The Houston area has some of the best quarterbacks in the state who are ready for primetime. Let's dive into Part 2 of<strong><em>&nbsp;Gunslingers</em></strong>, quarterbacks&nbsp;in H-Town who have the skills to make some noise in the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["493277"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Lewis's performance this season has been nothing short of remarkable. His powerful arm allows him to deliver accurate passes, making him a true asset to the team's offensive strategy. What sets him apart is his exceptional ability to thread the needle in tight coverage situations, finding openings in the defense that many other quarterbacks might miss. This precision has made him a go-to player in crucial moments of the game, making big plays when they matter most. But Lewis isn't just a traditional pocket passer; he's also an elite runner. His agility and speed transform him into a significant threat when he escapes the pocket and enters the open field. With his speed and evasive maneuvers, he can turn a seemingly routine play into a game-changing moment. This dual-threat capability keeps opposing defenses on their toes, as they have to be prepared for both his arm and his legs. With Lewis unde center, St. Thomas has enjoyed an impressive 9-0 record, showcasing his ability to command the team and consistently deliver results. Being a favorite to win the state championship in the TAPPS playoffs is a testament to his talent and the trust his coaches and teammates have in him. Lewis is a two-sport star who excels on the baseball diamond. Donte is committed to Kansas State for baseball, showing off the next level skills to excel on the diamond.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["615897"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Zion is an experienced three-year starter who is a crucial factor in the Eagles' success. As a field general, he remains cool under pressure and looks to make winning plays when the ball is in his hands. Standing tall in the pocket, he exhibits poise and composure, allowing him to make accurate and well-timed throws, delivering strikes to his receivers. One of Brown's standout qualities is his exceptional touch on the deep ball, which can be a game-changer in crucial moments. His ability to connect on deep passes adds another dimension to the team's offensive capabilities. Brown is a dual-threat quarterback, showcasing elite running skills that make him a threat both as a passer and a ball carrier. His athleticism and speed make it challenging for defenders to contain him, often leading to big gains and explosive plays. Under Brown's leadership, the Atascocita Eagles have achieved an impressive 8-1 record this season, and they have made two deep playoff runs during his tenure as the starting quarterback. Zion is undoubtedly a player to watch as the playoffs kick off and look for him to lead the charge for the Eagles as they head into the second season.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["147431"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Gordon possesses elite arm talent that sets him apart on the football field. He navigates the pocket like a veteran and makes precise throws in tight coverage windows. Gordon's arm talent enables him to effectively spray the route tree with accuracy, making him a versatile and dangerous passer. His ability to generate great hip torque adds power to his throws, allowing him to make deep and accurate passes, including pushing the ball outside the numbers with precision. This skill set makes him a formidable quarterback who can challenge defenses at all levels of the field. In addition to his success on the football field, Gordon is a two-sport star, showcasing his athleticism and versatility. His achievements as a national champion in the triple jump highlight his dedication and talent in multiple athletic disciplines. Leading Episcopal into the playoffs is a testament to Gordon's leadership and his ability to perform under pressure. With his skills and the team's potential, they have the ability to make a deep playoff run, which will be an exciting journey for both Gordon and his teammates. His combination of arm talent, athleticism, and leadership bodes well for their postseason aspirations.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1073265"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Jaquan is an electric player who brings excitement with the football in his hands. His elusive running style, combined with breakaway speed, makes him a threat to break free for big gains on every play. His explosive burst and accuracy while throwing on the run add a dynamic dimension to his game, allowing him to make plays in and out of the pocket. Jaquan's athleticism and ability to elude defenders, along with his excellent pocket presence, make him a well-rounded quarterback who can navigate the field effectively. His leadership and on-field performance have been instrumental in leading the Lions to an impressive 8-1 record. The upcoming district title game against Worthing highlights the team's achievements and their potential to compete at a high level. With Brandon under center, Yates is poised to be a dangerous team to face in the playoffs, and their opponents will have their hands full dealing with Brandon's electrifying style of play and leadership.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654173232fb2f"} /-->
