Taylor McCurry
Enka High School, Quarterback
A lot of what makes high school football in this state so good is the quality of talent that has been accumulated within the area. And with all that talent come a lot of eye popping numbers and some outstanding athletes. So far we have looked at some great defense and a couple of big rushing performances by some of the best running backs in the state but so far no Quarterbacks.
Introducing Taylor McCurry. McCurry took full advantages of all of his opportunities this week when his Enka High School team took on Asheville. Now keep in mind that Asheville may be one of the best teams in the state and all this was in a losing effort, 63-30. But McCurry went off, amazing 506 yards passing and 4 touchdowns on 52 attempts.
Currently McCurry is the state leader in passing with 2,063 yards and 17 TDs, but his performance this last week broke a western North Carolina record and ranks among the top in state history. You may want to keep an eye on Enka and Taylor as the season rolls along.
