Quarterback

Nate Whittaker, jr., Greene, 6-0, 175 pounds

Whittaker was a model of efficiency throwing for an area-high 816 yards and 11 TD passes. He also established the best completion percentage in head coach Tim Paske’s five-year tenure hitting 56 percent of his strikes. “He was willing to learn a new position and we were really happy with his progress,” Paske said. “By the end of the year, he had a good hold of it.” A dangerous runner as well, Whittaker ran for five TDs and also returned a punt for a touchdown. “Our game plan this year and for next year is to put him in a position to be successful,” Paske said. “He’ll be a fun kid to watch.” Whittaker threw for a season-best 215 yards against Unatego, and had a TD pass or TD run in all but one game. On the defensive side of the ball, Whittaker showed his nose for the pigskin finishing with a team-high five interceptions.

Chris McGinnis, sr., 6-1, 220 pounds
