might be coming into the 2025 football season as the most experienced quarterback in Class 4A. Tecla has started for the Pirates since his freshman season. Having that kind of experience and overall leadership should definitely help the Pirates as they move into the new era, specifically on the offensive side of the ball. Tecla has never been asked to throw the ball as much as Poteau is going to throw it this season so he’s definitely going to be a player to watch just from that perspective. But there is a lot of belief in this veteran QB.

We mentioned that Poteau’s offense lost a lot of production but they do return their quarterback. Junior

would earn the nod as QB1 of the Pirates during his sophomore season and on a team that was so heavy with the running game, his job was easy for the most part in 2023. Tecla only threw 80 passes on the season but had 13 touchdowns and he took care of the football. This season, we’re looking forward to seeing if his production goes up with all the new names in the Poteau backfield. Tecla isn’t going to be alone there as they do have some familiar names and this is still going to be a run-first offense. But it wouldn’t surprise us to see his passing production go up.
