Best QB to come out of your school.

[gato 76]

Bay City has had some great QB's come thru,but i think the most gutsy QB we had was Daniel Hawkin's that played on the 1983 state championship team.He did not have great number's but the guy was a winner,he is the guy that threw an int in the 1st qt of the bay city /willowridge game in the astrodome thurman thomas int the ball and was running down the side line that looked to go for a td,and hawkins caught him from behind at the 1yd line.Willowridge did not score they ended up 4th and goal from the 3o yd line.That was a great team and a great qb.

McGee is great. If he goes pro this year I look for him to be signed for a bundle of money.

Phil..honestly..get your head out of the rear of this kid

Will he be a good pro? Possibly after his SR year, but he is not going pro after JR and if he did he would not get drafted till very late

Phil would be optimistic about a quadriplegic's chances of making it in the NFL! But that's just Phil and that's what makes him and the board so great. Phil makes a completely off the wall optimistic statement and then half the board jumps his butt for it! ;)

Adam Herrin, Celina (1998-2000)

Everyone likes to talk about others, but he is still the only 11-man 3-time state champion started at quarterback, or at least he was as of 2004 or so (trying to run through my head everything since)

He may not have been the best passer, but he was pretty darn good, IMHO.

In the state championship game his senior year against Mart, he had more total yards than Quan Cosby (150 yards rushing, 200+ passing) and still went on to start at linebacker at Rice for two years. Others may have faster legs or stronger arms, but he has something they don't: 3 rings and a 46-2 record (41-0 to close out his career).

Cliff Watkins--Class of '99

Signed with Arizona, but kind of got let go when Mackovic came in, so he transferred to Tarleton. Don't know what he's doing now, but man he was fun to watch back in the day.

I know we had some studs back in our 50s teams who could play too, but Cliff sticks out to me.

yeah winning counts
Ill nominate a guy who I played against

Richard Richie Texas A and I
39-0
3 national championships
he was the best option qb I ever saw
and kicked too

Texas A&I had a 1-8 record going into the last game of the 1973 season. A freshman, Richard Ritchie, moved up to the starting quarterback position. The Javelinas won that game. Ritchie continued as quarterback for three full seasons. Texas A&I had successive records of 13-0, 12-0, 13-0. Texas A&I (now known as Texas A&M-Kingsville) won NAIA Division I championships those three years. The Javelinas beat Henderson 34-23 in the final in 1974, Salem 37-0 in the final in 1975, and Central Arkansas 26-0 in the final in 1976. Ritchie's record as a starting quarterback was 39-0. He passed for 40 touchdowns and rushed for 19. His passes totaled 5,131 yards and he rushed for 1492. He kicked 137 extra points and nine field goals. The 1974 Texas A&I team played a regular-season game in Monterrey, Mexico, and beat Monterrey Tech 33-6. The 1975 team played the dedication game for Aloha Stadium in Honolulu and beat the University of Hawaii 43-0. The 1976 team played exhibition games in France, Austria, and Germany. Ritchie was named Most Valuable Player in the NAIA Championship game in 1974, was named Lone Star Conference Player of the Year 1975-76, NAIA Player of the Year 1975-76, Associated Press Little All-America 1976, and Academic All-America 1975-76. He served as assistant football coach at Texas 1977-79, North Texas 1980, and Texas Tech 1981-84. He returned to school, obtained a law degree, and began practicing law in Texas.

When I was at A&M-Commerce I talked to some old timers from A&M-Kingsville and they told legendary stories of his option ability.

Not to hijack the thread, but....

There have been a number of good athletes out of A&I through the years. Considering the school's location (hot, humid, not exactly the middle of Football, Texas, etc.) they found hard-nosed kids from small towns, sprinkled in a couple from the city, and created a heck of a team with them. I've grown up hearing stories all my life (my dad played and was a team captain in the early 60s). They just don't make them that tough anymore.

Jeff Granger - Texas A&M, Kansas City Royals

Granger played both football and baseball at TAMU. He was an A&M ace back in the early 90's. Struck out 21 in a single game. His senior year in high school he was plugged in to the 400 meters at district despite not having trained for track at all (they needed a warm body). He won the whole schmere, and I think he won regionals in the event as well despite being a last minute add-in. The guy was a natural athlete.

He did admit that he was a bit humbled when, as a K.C. Royal, he had Griffey, Jr. down with an 0-2 count only to get roped after the gimme pitch.

[Fal44]

didn't even know We used a QB...:confused:

[GreenMonster]

I have to go with Jim Clapp. Hard to argue with his numbers. 1968- SOPH- Semi-Finalist 12-1
1969-JR- State Champions 14-0
1970-SR-State Champions 14-0

36-1 over a 3 year span. He's now the offensive coordinator at 2A Holliday HS and the head track coach. Has a couple of 2A track team titles over the years as a coach. He also happens to be a really really nice guy.

[Dogman_1969]

I have to say Drew Hurt. Led his team to the Quarterfinals. This kid was a winner.......

Before him I'd have to say Kevin Samuel & Martin Stroman.
