Even though there are several talented players that make up the Cinco Ranch offense, you can’t just put anybody at quarterback and hope it can continue ticking.

It’s not just handing the ball off to K.C. Nlemchi over and over again. The Cougar quarterback has to have a good arm to get the ball to his receivers, quick feet to roll out and escape pressure, and a good head to know the difference.

That’s why Justin Sawyer’s performance against Clear Springs was so surprising. Despite playing in a hyped game against one of – if not the most talented defensive units in the state, and ran the offense without a hitch in a 38-35 win.
