17 TD
He throws to the #39 Receiver in the country Case Thomas:
528 yards
105.6 yards per gane
20.31 yards per catch

Madison Ridgeland relies on a fast tempo with an Air Raid style of offense. One Word Tempo is certainly part of the mix. Head Coach Herbert Davis explains his “why” behind his concept of “calling the perfect play” in this free video:

They do an excellent job in building identity within their program and the units and position groups on their team. Coach Weaver calls it creating an “exclusive membership mentality.” He explains how it is about leaving a legacy and making an impact. Everyone doesn’t get in the club, but if you do, you get in for life. He explains how they created their position group brand of “ARB” in this video:
