As the cross town rival, I’ll second this statement. The kid can straight up play. He can make every throw on and off platform and is the kind of player every coach should want in their program. Recruit him or play him.

I would challenge college QB coaches to watch Charlie’s film and compare it to any top QB in the state of Colorado. They don’t be disappointed. He makes reads and throws like a college QB.

Obviously, talent wins out. But systems inside of a program are what lead to sustained success especially when there is a talent gap. You see more talented teams lose every week because of the behind the scenes systems no one gets to see.

Football is ultimately a game of talent. Scheme matters. Play calling matters. Great coaching and creative play designs can give you an edge. But when the lights come on, it still comes down to players making plays. The team with the better players usually wins. Talent matters. Period.

I’m incredibly lucky to get to coach this group of young men who never give in, who always get to work, and who believe and love one another unconditionally. #1 Scoring Defense in Colorado and the #2 Scoring Offense in CO. Onto the playoffs with still more to prove. #THL #PlayoffBound #MoretoCome
