From the Inquirer:
“McCord completed 13-of-21 passes for 321 yards and five touchdowns.”
From PAPrep:
“He completed 14-of-23 passes for 361 yards and five touchdowns.“
From Ted Silary (historical stats going into the game last night):
SJP
MOST PASSING YARDS (SINGLE GAME)
Frank Costa 370 1989 O'Hara
Kyle McCord 369 2018 OL Good Counsel (MD)
Kyle McCord 301 2018 Pine-Richland
Frank Costa 298 1988 Lower Merion
Regardless of which stat-line from last night’s game is correct, those are eye-popping numbers for only having played one half of football. In games where the Prep has reached a running-clock situation by half-time, Roken has typically let the offensive starters play one more series in the 2nd half before yielding to the back-ups. Kudos to him and this young man for keeping their focus on the team and not worrying about individual records when he likely could have eclipsed the mark with one more drive. McCord’s 369 yards passing from his sophomore season against OLGC came in a competitive game in which they needed every one of those yards. Given the relative difference between SJP and many of the CL teams, I think it’s going to be a difficult record to break outside of the early season non-league games or competitive playoff games.
He’s a special talent and right-up there with Devlin, Powlus, Gordon, Nosovitch, Henne, Collins, Kendra, Costa, and Gannon (among others) to come out of the Eastern part of the state.
