Kane Archer's 2024 season stacks with the best any quarterback has had in Arkansas high school football history. Any decade, any program and just about any measurement, what Greenwood's quarterback did in his junior campaign is up there with the best of them. Archer passed for 3,880 yards and 57 touchdowns, rushed for 795 yards and 10 touchdowns, threw just 2 interceptions and set the state completion percentage record (81.5%).

And when teams weren't actively avoiding him, they often sent help to their offensive tackles to chip his rush. Despite that kind of attention, Hill still wreaked havoc on offenses all season long. The senior defensive end totaled 56 tackles, 30 tackles for loss, 15 sacks and 19 quarterback hurries.
