Salina Central’s Jack Gordon already has one game circled on the 2024 schedule.
“I’m very excited to play Salina South week one knowing they are a cross-town rival,” Gordon said.
Being the Mustangs’ starting quarterback means being the unofficial leader of the team. Gordon made it a point to develop chemistry with his new pass catchers.
“All of the new guys coming up and starting this year for us have been running routes for me and we’ve been throwing every week,” Gordon said.
There are times when being behind center can make the game seem really fast. So Gordon finds it imperative to process things slowly in order to make the best play.
“I’ve tried slowing the game down as much as i can to make it easier for myself to make plays and be a better decision maker,” Gordon said.
Gordon was selected to the second team all-league last season where he threw for 2,300 yards and 29 touchdowns. But he feels like those numbers were just a stepping stone to this season.
“I’d personally like to break the rest of the records at salina central and be a better leader,” Gordon said. “As a team I’d like us to come out every game and play good four quarters instead of being a second half team how we were last year a few times.”
