I would like to mention Tates Creek quarterback Luke Duby. After a rough start due primarily to injuries and a lack of depth (TC had a roster of about 50 when most 6a schools had 80-100) TC went on a run in to the state semifinals for the first time in 20 years. Duby lead the state in passing yardage with 4685 yards which is the 2nd most ever in the state of Kentucky. He had two games of over 500 yards (535 v Lexington Catholic and 537 v Pulaski) which rank 12th and 13th all time. His 335 ypg average is 4th all time. TC was obviously a pass first team and had to throw it to win. Yes, that can lead to better passing stats but I would argue that it also makes it more difficult than when a team has a balanced offense. He also lead his team in rushing with 448 yards. He has a 4.5 gpa in the International Bacalaureate program at TC and is committed to Cornell University. Full disclosure, I am very biased and very proud of the work that he has put in.

Wow! That is impressive. And you should be proud my friend. This kid seems to be a solid, all around fine young man.
