This afternoon some of the nation’s top quarterbacks will be rotating through drills and throwing routes to wide receivers at Buford High School. The Elite 11 Regionals will feature many top-level rising senior quarterbacks and select elite underclassman competing for a shot at the Elite 11 Camp in Southern California this July.

One quarterback that will take part is Lassiter’s Eddie Printz.

Irwin also noted that Printz, who threw for 3350 yards and 28 touchdowns one year ago as the Trojans advanced to the Class AAAAA semifinals, has been working hard throughout the winter to improve. Read more >

The Brookwood Broncos boys swimming team is used to winning state championships.
