THE THROWERS

Richlands has had some fine quarterbacks over the years but none shown as brightly as Steve Dye did against Lee High in 1994. Dye passed for 384 yards in a high scoring, 48-45, loss to the Generals. He was 20-40 (both RHS records), no interceptions and a record six touchdown passes.

The 1987 playoff bound BLUES thrived with a balanced passing/running attack. A big part of their sucess was Adam Lallande who had a combined near 1000 yard year. Lallande passed for 792 yards and had an excellent 49% completion percentage. Lallande was also an affective runner by amassing 196 yards on only 54 carries. When he wasn't running or throwing, Lallande was long snapping to punter and favored receiver, Garnett Lester.

In a wild 60-20 victory over Harrisonburg HS, Neil Hunsaker passed for a then record 5 touchdowns. Hunsaker hit on scoring plays of 60, 56, 49, 20, and 16 yards. Hunsaker even joined in the fun by receiving a 17 yard TD from halfback, Bob O'Malley. No other passing stats are available but the scoring passes alone accounted for 201 yards.
