OT: CA QB breaks national & state record: 50 completions (50 of 75 attempts, 512 yards)
The national record for HS QB completions in a game was 47 (set by Grant Sherman, Kenton, OH). Trey Tinsley completed 50 in a game last weekend. Tinsley is junior QB of El Toro High School in Southern California. He's the son of former USC quarterback Scott Tinsley from the 1980s.

I could find no Scout or Rivals profile on him.

Meh. Still only 6.8 YPA.

50 completed passes for 512 yards and they won by a TD?

I've seen Stafford throw for around 400 yds and have the Lions lose. Yards =/= win

... if you are winning by a lot, you probably don't have to be passing it that much unless you like running up the score. You probably don't see too many teams put up those types of numbers running the ball and losing.

I remember a game when I was in high school where there was somthing like six passes attempted.

They only attempted 12 rushes for 17 more yards, but in combination with 75 pass attempts, that means they ran 87 plays at an average clip of 6.08 yards per play. Apparently, someone went to the Mike Leach / Sonny Dykes / Hal Mumme school of Air Raid.

He also looks to throw the ball without the laces, something I think a lot of Leach QBs were taught to do so they can get the ball out that much quicker.

The lack of a Scout/Rivals presence is probably due to the fact that this is Tinsley's first year playing. Last year he backed up a kid named Conner Manning (also was the subject of an MGoPost during his high school days) who is now at the University of Utah. He's a bigger kid than Manning was (listed at 6'3") so he'll probably be on the radar fairly soon.

Adam Weber was my high school quarterback and I don't recall us throwing it anywhere near as much.

Not surprisingly, his WRs had some crazy games.
- Dominic Collins (18 receptions, 226 yards, 3 TDs)(!!)
- Taylor Dodds (11-125, 1 TD)
- Kaleb Fossum (10-54)
- Collin Kentros (7-67, 1 TD)
- Brendan Lane (4-40, 1 TD)
