Year: Junior
Stat to Note
Strauss completed 114 of his 189 passes as a sophomore, equating to a 60.3% completion rating. That number was tops among Sunflower League quarterbacks in 2010.
Scouting Report
No school in the Sunflower League will have as much riding on a junior as Lawrence High will on Strauss this upcoming season. In his first year at the helm he passed for 1,141 yards and 10 touchdowns and rushed for 603 yards and five touchdowns through nine games, good enough for honorable mention all-SL honors.
Strauss' top target from last season, wide receiver Anthony Buffalomeat, returns and will be Strauss' go-to receiver throughout the season assuming both stay healthy. Strauss has a chance to be a dynamite performer if he continues to progress and mature as a quarterback the way he did last season. A big year from the junior will almost certainly mean big things for Lawrence.

Lawrence could be the third best team behind Olathe North and Shawnee Mission East. This kid sounds like the most dangerous quarterback in the league. We all know how a run capable quarterback can take his team deep into the playoffs (Starling, Simmons, Torneden) Not to mention he can throw very well and has a solid receiver and Eli you mentioned they have a pretty decent running back as well. Keep your eyes on the Chesty Lions this season! On another note I also have a good feeling about Leavenworth this season. They're returning some young talent.
Returning some young talent to the State Pen maybe, but not to the football field. The year the pioneers of leavenworth will be good will be the year EagleSophomore gets a date.

Has to be SOMETHING screwy so I'm taking OS to upset OE in the season finale and win the district just to really screw up the pairings.
Thanks for deleting that guy pretending to be me
Can't wait for the season opener between ON and OE
Orange Mooney is a CANCER. I am a parent at ON and have heard that Orange thinks he makes the decisions. He hasnt been listening to coaches and ON will be better if Orange sits.
Sounds like orange moodey needs to work out some kinks. Speaking of kinks, how bout eaglesophomores continuous trouble with the lady folk....
anybody who says "lady folk" probably has a few kinks too
anybody who gets on this thing at 6:04 in the morning probably has a few kinks
