Congratulations to Jake Sturgill on being selected as WCYB Player of the Year 2015.  The kid put up some astonishing numbers.  But what most people might not know is how humble and giving he is.

Does abingdon have a legitimate chance at the title, ie. Who do they lose to graduation?

Those are some very impressive stats. Doesn't that put the young man in the VHSL record book?

I take all local stats with a not small block of salt, but assuming that 3505 yards and 53 TDs is accurate...

 

It takes 54 TDs in a single season to crack the VHSL record book.  There's a 4-way tie for 9th with 54 TDs in one season (among 7 players...Vic Hall and Craphole McTraitorface* appear twice each.  He's almost 500 yards away from qualifying for the single-season VHSL Top 10 in terms of total yards.

 

*That's the "Ron Mexico" alias of one Ronald Curry, who committed to UVA early, which caused UVA to shift its attention away from recruiting starting QB Aaron Brooks's cousin, some guy named Michael Vick.  Curry kindly switched his commitment to UNC on signing day (UNC was going to let him play basketball, too), which led to UVA starting the very forgettable Dan Ellis for the years when Curry or Vick should have been slinging the rock.  This led to consecutive 6-5 seasons, which burned out George Welsh and caused him to retire.  Pretty much, that douche-nozzle was the singular stone in the stream that altered the history of Virginia and Virginia Tech football, which were literally within 1 game of identical records in the rivalry to that point.  Hell yes, I'm bitter.

On a bright note, he was our best player a couple times at UHall.

He also got first team All State and 2 nd place for WJHL.

UVA- passing in a season starts at 3000. 3505 puts the kid in 6 th place all time

Unclear whether or not 3505 is total yards or passing yards only. Since the VHSL record book is updated and Sturgill is not in it, I am going with total yards until proven otherwise.
