BigCatFootball Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Mason should be the winner here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHPatriots Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Mason. Why? Because he is from a small school in the south. I have no logical or reasonable reason for this. That is all....just being honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Edwards Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Where is Mason going to school next season and is he planning on playing football? That kid can sling the rock and his size alone should put him on the radar for college programs. Bowen is a beast also. I love to see the small schools get some love in this Mr. Football award. Those guys could be stars at any level in HS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimeqb Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I think it will be Bowen. Here are some stats: 1. 220/336 (65.6% completion) - 2,911 yards, 29 TDs, 11 INTs. State runner-up, state champ Jr/ Sr year 2. 247/386 (64% completion) - 3,868 yards, 51 TDs, 7 INTs. State champ, State Runner-up Jr/Sr year If Michael Lindauer (stat line #2) didn't win Mr. Football, Wunderlich (#1) probably won't either. And if it wasn't for some Karlaftis guy currently running around KC, Lindauer would have been 2 time state champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys could be stars at any level in HS. Wunderlich was really impressive to me at the state finals. As soon as I saw him during warmups I thought he looked like a different player than the year prior, and he played like a different player too. Some of the throws he made in that game were downright elite. I know he visited Wisconsin last year, does anyone know if anything came from that? With the caliber of some of the QB play I've seen in the Big Ten the past few years, I don't see why a team like the Badgers or Iowa wouldn't take him. Kid has the size, arm talent, and (from an outsider's perspective) the intangibles to be successful at a high level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Best running back in the state doesn't even make it Coyle should win, at this point anything else is just wrong But Bowen is going to win 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad final 3 that season 1 Kiser 2 Bell 3 Lindauer also in the mix Romeir Elliot. Edited December 15, 2022 by Screagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Official visit? Or a Junior invite day? Huge difference. 75% of players do Junior days at the bigger schools.

Let alone the best player overall in the entire state. I understand his passing stats are what they are, MD runs a system that played to his strengths.

Coach Nowlin Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 There are no more votes to be made, these 3 were a fine representation of our states best players voted on by the coaching association across the entire state. Best of luck to the 3 finalist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A QB for a more running focused offense won't have the same passing stats as a QB who plays in a more heavily relied on passing game. By no means am I saying he isn't a great QB, because he is, no doubt. Just for the sake of debate, plus it is a long offseason. Here are the stats (pulled from MaxPreps) for each of the 3 QBs selected to the SIAC All-Conference teams. (Wunderlich first team QB, Fisher second team QB, Hunt first team at large) Wunderlich (Mater Dei - 15 games played) - 2,911 passing yards, 29 TDs, 9 INTs 291 rushing yards, 6 Tds 3,202 total yards, 35 total TDs Per Game Stats: 194 passing yards per game, 19 rushing yards per game, 231 total yards per game Fisher (Ev. Memorial - 11 games played) - 1,830 passing yards, 15 TDs, 10 INTs -36 rushing yards, 1 TD 1,794 total yards, 16 total TDs Per Game Stats: 166 passing yards per game, -3 rushing yards per game, 163 total yards per game Hunt (VL - 10 games played) - 1,464 passing yards, 10 TDs, 7 INTs 908 rushing yards, 13 TDs 2,372 total yards, 23 total TDs Per Game Stats: 146 passing yards per game, 91 rushing yards per game, 237 total yards per game Edited December 15, 2022 by FootballFan2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows how their stats would have been affected had they played an entire season, instead of splitting reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion this award is going to Bowen, the only person I felt had a legit battle with Bowen was Hansen from Roncalli. You have to win the position award to be in the running. Hansen didn't win the position award so he is not eligible. Coyle great kid had a great season very fortunate to get the position award, but this one is Bowen's award hands down.

BTF Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Bowen in a landslide. He racked up huge numbers on both sides of the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
