A pass intended for Cleveland’s Tyler Davis (17) is broken up by Soddy-Daisy Trojans’s Alex Roberts (16) and Shelton Roberson (11).CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Pitch and catch.
Yes, Austin Herink made it look just that easy.
Cleveland’s senior quarterback connected on everything from screen passes and short slants to fly patterns, burning the Soddy-Daisy secondary for 361 yards and four touchdowns to lead Class 5A’s fifth-ranked Blue Raiders to a 51-14 District 5-AAA win.
Most of Herink’s totals came in the first half, when he threw for 316 yards and all of his TDs. He added a scoring run in the second half before coming out of the game in the fourth quarter.
“This offense is a lot of fun to play in,” Herink said. “I’ve played with most of our receivers since sixth grade, so I’ve got a lot of confidence in them and wouldn’t trade them for anything.
