4 QB Factory Clients Make the Maryland Crab Bowl All-Star Game

From the Baltimore Sun 12-19-09

Year of the quarterback in Baltimore

Maryland Crab Bowl will feature 5 of the 7 local QBs with Div. I potential

Including 4 current QB Factory clients; Billy Cosh, Jerry Lovelocke, Josh Bordner and Connor Bruns
When Maryland Crab Bowl officials set out to finalize the Baltimore roster for Monday's second annual senior all-star football game against Washington, they faced a problem they had never seen before: too many quarterbacks.

They were looking at six potential Division I quarterbacks for three roster spots. Not great for them but certainly great for local fans, who, this fall, saw probably the best collection of high school quarterbacks ever to play in the Baltimore area at the same time.

Those seniors - Arundel's Billy Cosh, Century's Josh Bordner, McDonogh's Rudy Johnson, Loyola's Connor Bruns, Edmondson's Jerry Lovelocke and Poly's Antoine Goodson - along with Gilman junior Darius Jennings bring the number of quarterbacks with Division I potential to seven.

From the Carroll County Times:

Josh Bordner’s football career is set to continue at a Division I college thanks to his time spent at quarterback, the position he almost didn’t play.

In his youth football days with the Winfield program, Bordner was either a lineman or wide receiver. He envisioned a high school career at linebacker or defensive end.

When he arrived at Century High, Bordner joined a freshman team looking to fill key positions.

“We didn’t really have a quarterback, so I just stepped up and did it,” he said. “I guess it worked out pretty well.”

That’s an understatement.

Bordner came to high school with minimal quarterback experience. After two stellar seasons as the Knights’ starter, the senior is leaving early and heading to Boston College with a chance to become a big-time college quarterback.

The Times’ Football Player of the Year led Century back to the postseason this fall when many football fans had the Knights pegged as a rebuilding team. Bordner helped them overcome an 0-3 start to finish the season 7-4 and reach the Class 2A West playoffs.

He threw for 2,082 yards and 18 touchdowns, and finished his career with 4,433 passing yards, the fourth-most in Carroll history — not bad for a kid who wanted nothing to do with quarterback because he hated the idea of remembering all the plays.

When Century’s freshman team needed a quarterback, Bordner raised his hand (he had played some as an eighth-grader). The following season, he made varsity but played mostly defense and wide receiver. Bordner remembers playing quarterback only when things were a bit bleak.

So far this season Chris has 929 passing yards and 9 passing touchdowns and 1 rushing.

BALTIMORE SUN'S INTERVIEW WITH JOSH BORDNER

A year ago, quarterback Josh Bordner led Century to the state Class 2A semifinals and the first perfect regular season in Carroll County football in 30 years, passing for 2,217 yards and 18 touchdowns. This season has been a bit different for the senior, who saw most of his teammates graduate. On Friday night, however, Bordner, 17, was in on six touchdowns - three passing, two rushing and one on a blocked punt return - as the Knights earned their first victory of the season, 63-0, over Manchester Valley. Bordner, 6 feet 4, 205 pounds, who has a 3.9 weighted grade-point average, has committed to Boston College. He plans to graduate early and enroll at BC in the spring to take part in spring football.

Question: How did you get started in football?

Answer: My dad got me into football when I was about 4, and I've played ever since. ... When I was about 8 or 9, I was playing with kids about 2 years older than me. I always played up a level, so I was always playing with kids a lot bigger.
