Northside QB
- Thread starter wikki
- Start date
He's a dual threat QB, started some last year as a Sophomore. He has good potential, but needs to work on decision making at times. I remember thinking that when I saw him the last 3 years.He threw 2 pick 6's against Salem on 2 consecutive plays in JV.
In his Twitter picture he is wearing a Heritage jersey. Doesn't Heritage's QB that got hurt last year return?
Anderson, their QB who got hurt this past season was just a Jr. so he will be back this year, Heritage will be very tough to beat if they stay healthy.
The kid was on his way to a good sophomore season until an injury interrupted his season.

Anderson has been getting most of the first team reps in 7 on 7. IMO, Anderson is the more polished passer and a slightly better athlete. With that being said, Anderson will probably be the starter barring an injury.
Blake could probably be used at WR this year with his height and be the QB next year?
Good to see Heritage have depth at Qb this coming year. It was unfortunate that the starter went down with an injury last season. I believe that they would have beaten Blacksburg last year if they would've had their QB. They had a D1 wide receiver on their team, but no one could get the ball to him. They made it as far as they could with a good defense and a great running game. With their starter back, I see Heritage making a run to the 3A state championship (This is the 4A board I know). They have been working hard and will be Dangerous!
I think that's a fair assessment. Especially since Heritage lost top receiver Caleb Snead to graduation.
Wow! That's a bold prediction! I'm not going to dispute it but I will say this, they have their starting QB back but only receivers with limited experience and size. They still will have a great running game if LaLa Davis stays healthy. However, the defense lost a lot of people from last year including coordinator Burt Torrence.
Word is though, there's a small possibility that Torrence might be cleared of any allegations and return to coach the defense. I personally highly doubt that he returns even if he is cleared of allegations.
You are correct. It is a bold prediction. I they they could do it though.
The receivers will be much less experienced than this year. But I would look for them to get most of their production from their slot receivers.I believe the backup quarterback(#4) last year was the starter at the slot last year. The other one started last year. Both are somewhat short, maybe 5'9"(one is a little bulky) but both look very athletic on the field. LaLa is a stud and will have a great year. I hope they also promote the running back from JV. He looks very good also. If he works hard enough he could be a LaLa 2.0 in the coming years.
I did not know they lost Torrence. I think their defense will still be fine. They still return strong, defensive linemen that have good size. They lost a senior leader at linebacker, but they had some young starters that should fill in pretty fine. I'm not too sure about the secondary, but watch out for #10 at corner. He was promoted to varsity during last year and he steeped up huge last playoffs he looks much bigger than last year.
I watched Glass more at 7 on 7's this week, but saw a good amount of Heritage a few weeks ago.
Word out of Heritage camp is the Qb race will be tight maybe up until the 1st game of the season, especially if the transfer continues to learn the offense. Living only a few blocks from city stadium I have seen all of the 7 on 7's this spring. Anderson is the better athlete, the transfer has the SIZE and arm talent. I have family that lives in Richmond(Hermitage HS), Heritage was in the 7 on 7 tournament there a few weeks ago. Heritage faired well amongst the 5a and 6a schools there. I heard the transfer looked really good up there. Coache Bradley is in a good situation right now. Th is is a battlle that I am gonna continue to keep my eye on. Either way Heritage should make some noise this year.
