What?
Why was LEE co did not QB was first team he guide his team state ri g first year 15-0.
1500 more yards
100 more completions
10 more touchdowns.
This is an individual award, not team award.
Like being the MVP at your position
I think you will find that the two QB’s being discussed were pretty close in yds., completions and TD’s. Not close in Interceptions or wins. Head to head was not even close. Rodemaker threw for 91 yds. against lee in their worst defeat in school history. Also keep in mind LC QB only played into the 4th quarter in 4 games. Valdosta QB was in vs LC in the 4th with a running clock down 63 – 7. I have watched both and Valdosta QB is above average but don’t believe he can carry shoes for LC QB.
well not sure where u pulled stats
Toole had 3200 yds
34 TD
2 int for whole year
Rod only had couple hundred more yards
couple TD more and a
Lot more INT
Toole had lot more wins and less attempts because he was on sideline by 3rd quater
Valdosta was throwing nearly every game because they were chasing.
Toole is better QB Rodemaker not bad at all but Toole is measurably better. My gosh didnt throw his first interception till week 13
Interesting that Caleb McDowell is listed as an Honorable Mention for Lee Co. … hmmmm can you say recruiting at its finest.
The list is a joke! Most of the players on the 6A list are highly overrated!!! Watch cream rise to the top! I really don’t understand how some of these make the list. You cant go on stats because if your team plays in a garbage region with no competition its like being the tallest amongst midgets!! Lol
It must be a slow rising cream because a lot of these athletes are really good, not overrated. And that doesn’t make much sense about regions….. Playing in a bad region shouldn’t help your chances of making All-State. All that shows is you play against nobody, and put up big numbers.
I look at stats, film, individual game splits, playoff performances (if applicable) and my premium database, which is the most comprehensive GA database in the country. I’m looking for the athletes who mean the most to their team for their specific position, and how that directly impacts the team’s winning.
Both are very good QB’s. Two of the best in the state. Knowing Toole, he uses this as an advantage.
