Really! Wow so this kid has to be something special if he was able to pass up that other kid as QB. That kid in 7th grade was the starting 8th grade QB and looked to be something special at the position. This is saying a lot from what I saw of that kid years ago.

The kid you are talking about is Stetson Simpson. Linsey moved to Wayne as a freshman. Simpson started his freshman year in front of Linsey. Linsey won the job their sophomore year.

I have huge respect for Simpson. While I'm sure he was upset he took it like a man and never showed any signs. Simpson moved to receiver. Linsey was hurt in the opening game. Simpson started the second game and threw 4 TD's and was the Cumberland Valley Bowl offensive MVP. The next week Linsey started and back to back Region championships followed.
But Simpson was rewarded for his selflessness. He is Wayne County's leading receiver with 12 TD's and 748 yards. Simpson will have several offers to continue his career.

Coach Thompson made the right choice for both players and it was not easy. Simpson is a special receiver and Linsey is a special QB. I think it is a neat unknown story ( outside Wayne County) that shows Coach Thompson's ability to lead and indication to how this whole team is dedicated to being a special TEAM.
