It is hard to keep up with all the top athletes in the Region. Of course when you try and do what we do it is frustrating. This is a VAST region and trying to cover them all is tough- no strike that- it is impossible. That does not mean we will not try however.
Over at Camas High School one of the finest QB’s in the NW is now 2-0 and blowing up big time. Liam Fitzgerald had a good Sophomore year, a great Junior season, and now he is making a D-1 Statement in his Senior Campaign.
I want to remind all of you college coaches that this is the same school that produced Reilly Hennessey who we saw take command of Autzen Stadium two weeks ago and not even flinch as a Freshmen. The other kids around the NW, like Liam, who were lesser known in High School are now in college owning their leagues.
Liam Fitzgerald is the total package. Is he the tallest or the fastest or most polished QB in the Region? Probably not. But one this this guy does is Win!
In week 1 the Papermakers traveled hundreds of miles on the road to take on Chiawana in the opener. The Riverhawks are coming off several years of being a top 5 team and a State Champion 2 seasons ago. It was all Camas in the opener and Liam threw for 290 yards and 3 Touchdowns early in the game to gain the win 35-14.
Last week in Game 2 the team headed 150 miles North to take on the Federal Way Eagles, another Top 10 opponent. No problemo. Liam threw for 347 yards and 5 touchdowns as the #2 ranked Papermakers posted a 49-28 win.
So in two game he has posted nearly 650 yards and 6 Td’s and is playing his best football. Call it the “Steven Long Effect”- You D1 and D1AA schools that don’t want to recruit him might pay the price. He simply wins. We have Liam on our Top 200 for the Pacific NW and all of his Contact info is right here on his PremierProspect profile.
It might be time to pick up that phone guys.
