At first glance, Hester only attempted a total of four passes, but he sure did make them count. Believe it or not, but despite Hester’s lack of attempts through the air, the Palmer Ridge quarterback had a knack for the end zone as all three of his completions went for paramount scores. In addition, Hester once again used his legs to find pay dirt on the ground. Simply put, Hester’s decision making is impeccable, he remains poised under pressure, and can make plays out of nothing.

“He’s a guy that our guys do follow. His competitiveness is contagious to our guys.”
– Palmer Ridge head coach Zach Carltonhttps://t.co/Hk2WgGmnAn
