Video: Stat stars - Nov. 4Alex Huston of Glendale (Springfield, Mo.), a regular member of the weekly national high school football stat stars, saw his season come to an end following a 71-34 playoff loss to Republic (Mo.). With the loss, Huston fell just short of several national records.
Huston, who was 37 of 66 for 498 yards and four touchdowns, ended the year with 436 completions in 664 attempts. The national record for completions in a season is 440 by Grant Sherman of Kenton (Ohio), Huston's former school, and Jake Browning of Folsom (Calif.). The national record for attempts in a season is 676 by Will Nicks of Pulaski Academy (Little Rock, Ark.).
Huston did set a national record for average yards passing per game with 509.8. He broke the record of Ben Mauk of Kenton (Ohio), who had 436 yards per game. Mauk is Huston's offensive coordinator at Glendale.
Austin Scott of Spartanburg (S.C) hit a milestone last week, as he became just the ninth quarterback in South Carolina history to throw for over 10,000 career yards. After completing 38 of 53 passes for 492 yards and eight touchdowns last week, Scott now has 10,365 career yards passing.
