A technically proficient and accurate passer with the ability to reposition his launch point and fit balls into very tight windows, Newcom was again very impressive in his Rockets’ 34-13 win at Calloway County. Completing 80 percent (28 of 35) of his attempts for 287 yards and 3 touchdowns, he also added 11 yards rushing and two more touchdowns on the ground on 10 carries. A patient and poised presence in the pocket with disciplined eyes and the ability to easily progress to second-and-third option reads, he has now completed 164 of 248 pass attempts for 1,759 yards and 20 touchdowns. Averaging 176 yards passing per game (8th in Class AA), Newcom consistently makes good decisions and finds the open receiver in an offensive system tailored to what he does well, and he does an excellent job of getting the ball to the right spots. He and his Rockets (6-4) will host Todd County Central in the first round of the playoffs.
