A Year of Chuck and Duck?

Through my years covering high school football at the Daily Times, there have been a share of 2,000-yard passers in a single season. But to be honest, it's been more infrequent on a weekly basis to see a quarterback pass for more than 200 yards in a game. It's just never been a county big on airing it out.

After the first weekend, though, there are signs this could be a season of aerial attacks. During opening weekend, Chester's Tevin Campbell (293), Penncrest's Matt Atkinson (245) and Ridley's Colin Masterson (194) had big passing days. All three have quality receivers at their disposal, obviously a necessity for continued to success.

At the high school level, I've always believed that a program with a highly successful passing game has a big advantage. Why? Well, simply because consistent and impressive passing games are more the exception in the scholastic game. It's always more difficult to defend something that isn't seen often.
