Audubon's Hill keeping QB legacy alive | Philadelphia Inquirer | 09/17/2008

Now, the 6-foot-5, 210-pound Hill steps into the quarterback tradition, hoping to gain a foothold like his predecessors.

He has the size and an arm that has drawn comparisons to Flacco.

Hill's completing 12 of 14 passes for 196 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Saturday's opening 28-0 win against Overbrook won't do much to stop the hype.

To keep him grounded, Hill's coaches teased about his two incompletions.

"It's definitely an honor to play quarterback at Audubon," Hill said. "Right now, things are in my hands, and it's a great feeling."

That doesn't mean he is without pressure.

"He never said anything, but I think he felt some pressure and wanted to do so well because of the legacy that exists here," Audubon coach Ralph Schiavo said. "In the first game, we didn't want him to do too much, put too much pressure on him."

Hill said he learned so much from Rizzo, and he loves playing in the spread offense of Schiavo, a former Cherokee receiver who knows how much fun the pitch-and-catch game can be.

Hill said that he gets stares when walking around town, understanding that the whispers likely are suggesting he is the kid next in line.

"Being a quarterback here in Audubon, you have to handle the pressure," Hill said. "But who wouldn't want to be in this situation?"

Hill said that even before his opening game he was offered a football scholarship by Rutgers. He had attended a camp at the school, and the coaches got to see him in action.

There could be a few more offers before his high school career ends.
