Week 6 Dominating Quarterback Play

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 6 is already in the books and it was a week when the state's top quarterbacks stepped up with some of the best performances of the young season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last Friday, standout games came from a few of the state's most dangerous QBs, including a record-breaking night from arguably the top sophomore gunslinger QB.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this report, we are taking a look at five quarterbacks who have stepped up with some of the sizzling QB play in the state through the first six games of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So, without further adieu, let's check out just how impressive these talented ballers have been:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2127985' first='Brixton' last='Schwinn']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/brixton-schwinn/"></a></strong> <a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/brixton-schwinn/"></a>&nbsp;</strong>, 6'3, 205, QB/ATH,&nbsp;<em>Jefferson West</em>,&nbsp;<strong>'29</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>[PICTURED]</strong> the state's top freshman QB from a year ago has taken it to a supernova stage of late, and last Friday continued his blistering pace, setting a state record that stood for 51 years with 9 TD passes in a 69-0 clobbering of <em>Hiawatha</em>. The week before he fired 7 TD passes in a win over <em>Holton</em>. Over the last 2 games he is a jaw-dropping 48 of 65 (74%) for 709 yds, 16 TDs &amp; 0 picks - <em>let those numbers sink in.</em> With his late surge, he catapults to the top of the leaderboard for passing yards (1,574) and passing TDs (25) in the state. <em>Jeff West</em> moves to 5-1 and #4 in 3A going into week 7. Better breakout the iron dome when you play this guy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Landen Lewis</strong>, 6'0, 185, QB/ATH, <em>Rossville</em>, <strong>'28</strong>, he is a dual-threat assassin who has flown under the radar so far but is off to a red-hot start, leading the <em>Bulldogs</em> to a 4-2 record after steamrolling <em>Wabaunsee </em>last Friday. In that game he completed 12 of 17 passes for 179 yds (71%) and a TD, carried 20 times for 145 yds and 4 more TDs for a 324-yd-5-TD night. For the year he has completed 77 of 110 passes for 1,010 yds, added 717 yds on the ground for 1,727 total yds and piled up 26 total TDs. He may not be getting much exposure so far but week in and week out is stacking up big numbers and looks to continue to run the table into the post-season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1579585' first='Jerick' last='Humphreys']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/jerick-humphreys/"></a></strong> <a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/jerick-humphreys/"></a></strong>, 6'1, 195, QB/ATH, <em>Hesston</em>, <strong>'27</strong>, this senior gunslinger continues to impress as he has not only led his team to a sparkling 6-0 record and #3 ranking after ripping <em>Clay Center</em> 49-8 Friday, but has also put together one of the best QB-stat lines in the state. On Friday he completed an eye-popping 30 of 39 for 280 yds (77%) and 5 TD passes to 0 picks. He also carried the ball 9 times for 36 yds and 2 more scores to give him 300+ APYs and 7 TDs. For the year he has one of the top TD pass-to-pick ratios with 22 TD passes to 1 interception, completing 105 of 142 (74%) for 1,378 yds and 24 total TDs. This guy is a sharp shooter who is locked and loaded on finishing strong.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1700711' first='Dan' last='Sogard']</strong> <a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/dan-sogard/"></a>&nbsp;<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/dan-sogard/"></a>&nbsp;</strong>, 6'2”, 185, QB,&nbsp;<em>Blue Valley</em>,&nbsp;<strong>'27</strong>, up next is another senior gunslinger who has been lights out to start the year and last Friday was no different as he led his team to 30-6 win over <em>BVSW</em> to move to 4-2. In that game he was throwing surgical strikes, completing 25 of 32 passes (78%) for 337 yds and 3 touchdowns. On the year he also has one of the best TD pass-to-pick ratios with 18 TD passes to 1 interception on 107 of 170 passes (63%) for 1,561 yds, which is second only to <em>Schwinn</em> (above) in total passing yds through 6 games. He and his fleet of turf-torchin' wideouts are looking to continue to shred opposing secondaries.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1113296' first='Daniel' last='Schmidt']</strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/daniel-schmidt/"></a></strong> , 6'0, 170, QB/DB, <em>Chaparral</em>, <strong>'27</strong>, he is another baller flying under the radar but is off to great start, leading his team to a 6-0 record after disposing of <em>SW Heights</em> 52-16 on Friday. In the last 2 games he has gone scorched earth, completing 31 of 35 for 474 yds and 5 TDs, carried the ball 24 times for 141 yds and 5 more scores for 615 APYs and 10 TDs. For the year he has completed 71 of 104 passes for 1,283 yds (68%) and 18 TDs. On the ground he has carried 59 times for 443 yds and 11 more scores for an impressive 1,724 APYs and 29 TDs in 6 games. This guy is dangerous through the air and on the ground, better have a good game plan for this baller.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In conclusion, go check these guys out this fall - you will not be disappointed!
