How Myles Norris got his chance after three-day halftime at T.L. Hanna
T.L. Hanna backup quarterback Myles Norris learned at halftime that he would start the 3rd quarter against Mauldin. He did, after waiting three days.
Myles Norris, the backup quarterback for T.L. Hanna, found himself with a rare opportunity to start the second half of a game against Mauldin on September 18. The game was suspended due to a lightning storm during the third quarter, and it did not resume until September 21. Norris led a touchdown drive on his full turn as quarterback and ended the game with his first career interception.
T.L. Hanna, known for their run-heavy offense, has senior starting quarterback Will Mayfield who has thrown for 263 yards this season. The drive Norris led included a 35-yard pass to Azariah Sizemore, followed by a touchdown run by Esaias Carroll. Norris expressed that he was thrilled to get the chance to take the field, especially to secure an interception.
T.L. Hanna coach Jason Tone and the offensive staff prepared a specific series for Norris, which he executed effectively. Their plan was to utilize Norris more as a quarterback throughout the season, even though he had only four carries for 4 yards and one pass completion this season. However, due to his duties as the starting cornerback covering the No. 1 wide receiver, Norris was often tired during games.
Despite the challenges, Tone believes Norris has a bright future ahead. He has explosive speed and can throw the ball, which makes him a valuable asset on offense. Norris has an opportunity to contribute more on offense as T.L. Hanna prepares for the upcoming region play on October 2 against Fountain Inn.
