Loaded with talent, "Q-ston" is the new hotbed for QBs
Well, times are a-changing and Houston can proudly wear the moniker ofโฆ Q-ston. Houston is LOADED with quality QBs right now. He would know having played for coach David Raffield at Cy Falls and his QB coach was now-Langham Creek coach Todd Thompson. "There are more passing-oriented offenses now in the city and it's allowing kids who have some much talent, to flourish," he said. Never have three QBs from Q-ston been invited to the Elite 11.
