What words would the two Mid-County quarterbacks use to describe each other?
“He’s a smart quarterback and has a big arm on him,” Nederland senior Sage Seay said of Port Neches-Groves junior Adam Morse.
“He’s athletic and quick, a true dual-threat,” Morse said of Seay.
They represent completely different styles of quarterback-play and personalities, but both yield impressive results. The play of both Morse for PN-G and Seay for Nederland will be a crucial factor in deciding Friday’s matchup between the two.
At practice Wednesday, Morse operated like he was on the clock at work, diligently going through plays without much of a peep besides his call to hike the ball. He’s not shy and will gladly carry on a conversation, but his voice rarely goes above conversation level, if ever.
“He’s making the right reads. He’s doing the right things in practice. That trickles down to other players as leading by example,” PN-G coach Brandon Faircloth said.
About an hour later and 4.5 miles away, Seay was bobbing his head along to “Seven Nation Army” and singing along, as it blasted from two speakers at Prather Field. He’s probably the most visually-loose player at practice and has earned the right to display his extroverted, playful and passionate colors.
After Nederland’s win at Central last week, he gave a postgame speech to his team that would have Hollywood writers taking notes.
“You earn the right to do that,” Nederland coach Larry Neumann said. “He’s been a leader from the get-go and learned from our seniors last year. He’s following in the footsteps of DeShawn Washington, Caleb Malveaux and Colton Kimler. He knows you don’t do that every day because you have to walk the walk before you talk the talk.”
Both Seay and Morse have walked the walk this season.
