“We have played Myles four times in three years and I’m not sad to see him leave. He is elusive in the pocket with a great feel for pressure. He is extremely accurate, but isn’t afraid to try and throw the ball into tight coverage. He is an excellent competitor and has made everyone around him better for three years.”

Head Coach - head coach of Oak Creek High
