My high school wins awards for its sports programs but its longtime rival,
Saint Louis, has left it in the dust as a training academy for top quarterbacks.
2011 graduate
Marcus Mariota won the Heisman Trophy at Oregon in 2014. Last weekend he led the Tennessee Titans to their first playoff win in 14 years.
On Monday fellow Crusader [don't let them change your mascot, St. Louis!] alum Tua Tagovailoa came off the bench in the National Championship game to spark a come-from-behind overtime win by Alabama over Georgia. Both quarterbacks were and are
effusive in their praise for each other.
If Tennessee upsets heavily favored New England on Saturday, look for Marcus Mariota to regain the headlines from his protege.
