For last decade out of those above, I'd have to go with Kidwell who graduated in 2016. Best I've seen in the past two decades, in no particular order: Chris Mills, LCC, UIndy Eric Watt (no relation), South Newton, Trine Nick Zachery, Sheridan, IU Jack Kiser, Pioneer, Notre Dame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the LCC-Sheridan game that I saw, I think it was 2011, LCC shutout Sheridan. If I recall correctly though, that game was not decided until the 4th quarter and the offensive standout for Sheridan that I remembered for that game was a kid whose name I think was Callahan. He was a kid that everytime he touched the ball, you worried that he could break it ... not from speed, but just sheer bowling people over. In that Pioneer game, I think Kiser did more on defense to keep LCC from getting traction. On offense, I remember the Llewellyns being the offensive stars of that game. You could certainly make a case, in both the cases of Zachery and Kiser, in those two specific games, that they both kept the team held together, playing both sides of the ball. Unfortunately, I only got to see those two guys in a single game each. I think, it's certainly a case that, sometimes, a single game might not be an indication of great careers. On the other hand, I had a chance to see Mills all the way from 5th grade through high school graduation and kind of the same with Kidwell when he played youth ball at Benton Central and then later on when he ended up at West Lafayette.

RingLeader Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 (edited) both Zachary and Kiser were option style power runners….nothing new to evaluate and base opinions for qb play on throwing the ball. Zachary (senior year was 2008 btw)believe was 2-0 against LCC both in playoffs and Kiser’s teams played LCC four straight years in playoffs. Kiser scored 16 rushing td’s in those four games. Couple of those games were real classics. Edited May 21 by RingLeader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DumfriesYMCA Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I could easily say Brady Allen or any of the other Gibson Southern QBs….but when it comes to QBs that were just “That dude” and unforgettable… Kenton Crews, Heritage Hills (2012-2016?) His stats probably were not anything crazy but that dude put the fear of god in me. GS runs up tempo offenses…I was praying for GS to milk the clock so he wouldn’t get the ball in his hands. it’s a decade later and I still think about that dude every time GS plays HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude would be running fast and people that didn't know any better would say "wow, he's fast", and then he would go up 2 more gears. He was a freak athlete.

Irishman Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Luke Goode started as a sophomore at Homestead. After our season was over, we watched them play Carroll for a sectional title. Luke could have easily been a D1 QB. That was his last year to play football though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boilernation Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I can't think of anyone noteworthy that I've personally seen live in the past 10 years. All time for being in attendance would be Rex Grossman. I was at the RCA Dome when he absolutely shredded the Homestead defense for the 5A Title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
