There have been few quarterbacks in MPSSAA history more productive than Patuxent’s Evan Blouir. In fact, the Navy commit has a strong argument as to being the most productive signal caller in MPSSAA history.
Blouir’s numbers are from out of this world. In the Panthers 59-20 rout of McDonough in the opening round of the playoffs, Blouir became the first quarterback in MPSSAA history to surpass 10,000 career yards of offensive production. In week eight, Blouir passed Friendly’s Joe Haden’s mark of 9,208 passing and rushing yards, and now sits with 10,004 yards of offensive production.
In addition to his career milestone, Blouir eclipsed both 200 passing yards and 200 rushing yards four weeks after becoming the first player in MPSSAA history to eclipse both marks in a game. Blouir connected on 15 of his 17 passes for 203 yards and two scores, and rushed for 228 yards and five touchdowns on just 11 carries.
Blouir also became the first player in MPSSAA history to throw for 60 touchdowns or more, and rush for 50 touchdowns or more. In week nine, Blouir became the third quarterback in MPSSAA history to throw for 20 touchdowns and rush for 20 touchdowns in the same season, joining a pair of Mountain Ridge quarterback, Leuma Pua’ali and Will Patterson, who both achieved the feat in the last two seasons. With two passing touchdowns, Blouir could become the first quarterback in MPSSAA history to pass for 25 touchdowns and rush for 25 touchdowns in a season.

Blouir very well may finish with more than 2,500 passing yards and 30 touchdowns, and more than 2,000 rushing yards and 30 touchdowns this year. This season, Blouir has accounted for 3,643 yards and 50 touchdowns. Still, after two trips to his future home field, one more goal remains for the future Midshipman, a ring.

In week eight, Northern’s Miles Halbert became the MPSSAA’s all-time leading receiving yardage leader, surpassing Brunswick’s Blaine Price’s career mark of 3,515 receiving yards. Now, Halbert is destined to surpass the 4,000 career receiving yards mark, with the 57 needed almost assuredly coming this week.
Halbert now has amassed 220 receptions for 3,943 yards and 45 touchdown receptions in his Patriots career. A year after grabbing 104 receptions for a MPSSAA single-season record 1,955 receiving yards and 19 touchdowns, Halbert has caught 86 passes for 1,455 yards and 21 touchdowns. Halbert has added six touchdowns on the ground, for a total of 27 scores this season. Halbert ranks second in MPSSAA history in career receptions, and third in touchdown receptions.

Arundel is on pace to becoming the highest scoring team in MPSSAA history. While some potential big games loom, the 3A Cats could average 17 points below their average over the next four weeks and still become the highest scoring team in MPSSAA history. Through nine games, the Wildcats are averaging 53.7 points per game.
The highest scoring teams in MPSSAA history;
48.2 ‘21 Dunbar (578/12)
47.8 ‘15 Damascus (659/14)
46.9 ‘23 Dunbar (516/11)
46.5 ‘22 Dunbar (604/13)
46.3 ‘97 Hereford (602/13)
46.0 ‘19 Fort Hill (598/13)
All but ‘19 Fort Hill won the state title that year.

Dunbar won their 47th straight game in the Poets 64-0 pummeling of Edmondson in the first round of the playoffs. The Poets match Howard’s mark from ‘71-75 for the third longest win streak in Maryland state history, and can pass Urbana’s mark of 50 for second best with a fourth straight title game win. The Poets would then head into next season two behind Damascus’ all-time mark of 53, but Patuxent may have a say whether they can get that far. Poets coach Michael Carter is 23-0 with the Poets.

In week nine, Linganore coach Rick Conner became the 11th winningest coach in Maryland public school history, surpassing Decatur’s Bob Knox’s mark of 235 career wins. After the Lancers opening round victory, Conner now has 237 wins and 68 losses in his career, for a .770 winning percentage, tied for 20th in Maryland public school history. If the Lancers were to win out, Conner would be one victory away from matching legend Al Thomas for tenth on the all-time list.
