Best Quarterbacks in Southern Ohio

[Jon B]

List a couple great Quarterbacks in Southern Ohio this year? I've heard a couple are really good, excited to hear everyone else's thoughts.

[Endzone_Warrior]

Hithens-Bolin from Waverly and Eddie Miller from Burg are my picks.
Also the young man from Athens.

[Sheik Yerboutie]

Isaac Brabson from Piketon. His numbers are incredible with a bunch of dropped passes. Dual threat big time.

He is 112-171, that's 65% with a total of 1417 yards. Also averages 7 yards per carry. That means he rarely gets sacked cause they can't catch him.

The Burrows boy from Athens is:

125 of 178 for 2,049 yards (70% completion rate) - 32 TD

83 carries for 433 yds (5.2 ypc) - 6 TD

Brabson from Piketon has very good receivers. They have had drops, but they have thrown the ball almost 200 times. He has fast receivers that can make plays, and has one heck of an offensive line. They give him all day to throw. His lineman have some great size too, and can move.

[Westfan]

I was impressed by Howard from valley. I think he's underrated.

So, in other words, Brabson's no good. Right?

[NewEra]

Brabson from Piketon, and after that as far as throwing ability it's not even close.

[wobycat]

Not seen Brabson play but his numbers are impressive and most have said he has alot of zip on the ball

Hitchen-Bolins has great touch and timing. Many times the ball was out before the break of the receiver.

Miller is good at timing the ball to the receiver as well. His ball sometimes isnt pretty but its very catchable. Plus he makes good in game descisions.

All three seem to be very good.

[4thgoal]

Eddie Miller's stats so far this year
Passing 117/174 (67%), 1,656 yards, 19 TDs
Rushing 104 rushes for 666 yards, 13 TDs
6 kick-off returns for 107 yds
14 punt returns for 105 yards
2,534 total all purpose yards

[nutronron2012]

I think Waverlys QB as far as pure QB. IMHO he is by far the best passer. He just dont have the line or the team around him that these other QBs do that has been mentioned.

[wobycat]

I agree. He is a great pocket passer, not very elusive though. I think thats what makes brabson and miller good, they can extend the play. Not seen the Athens kid. Numbers seem impressive.

125 of 178 for 2,049 yards (70% completion rate) - 32 TD

Looks like the best to me

[A-Town Big Dog]

I haven't seen any of the QB's mentioned above other than the Waverly QB and I know I sound like a "homer" in saying this but I've never seen a QB in person at the high school level who throws the ball any better than Joey Burrow and I've seen some really good ones over the years. The kid is incredible for high school let alone for a sophomore, he's smart, works hard, doesn't make poor decisions, doesn't turn the ball over, is accurate down field, rarely throws a bad pass, looks off defenders, goes through his progressions, and he runs well both in designed runs and scramble situations. I don't know anything else you could ask for at this level than what this kid brings to the table.

Wade Jarrell from Gallia Academy has a great arm and able to move really well in and out of the pocket!

[93Bulldog]

I know you have to cross the river to get to Wahama - but they are in fact in an Ohio league ...

The White Falcons TRENTON GIBBS may not have the best season stat records, but his career has been nothing short of remarkable!

The kid has never lost a regular season game as the starting QB for Wahama ... he is 28-0!
Overall they are 33-2.
He's won 5 playoff games.
2 league championships (and gonna be three here in a few weeks)
Took his team to the state semi-finals his junior year - and led them to the state title game as a soph.

Pretty good resume, IMO.

Chandler Lang Fort Frye Over 1500 Passing 700 Rushing 24 total Tds

[JIMMY THE GREEK]

Brabson from Piketon is one of the top QB's.

[footballfam37]

Burrow from athens, Athens have played quality teams and had still put up incredible numbers, burrow has the 59th most passing yards in the whole country amoung every highschool qb and hes only a sophomore that's incredible
