Chance Nagy to feature in new-look Moniteau offense
CHERRY TWP — The first three passes Chance Nagy attempted as a high school quarterback went for touchdowns.
He threw for 224 yards in his first varsity start under center last September for the Moniteau football team.
But Nagy and the Warriors had a strange, up-and-down season.
Nagy ended up completing 49-of-124 passes for 828 yards and eight touchdowns in Moniteau's run-heavy offense.
But he also threw 13 interceptions.
He helped lead the Warriors to the District 9 Class AA playoffs, but Moniteau was routed by Kane in the first round and finished 3-7.
“I realized you can't let success or failure get to you,” Nagy said. “You have to go out there and play the same game every Friday.”
The game Nagy will play this season on Friday nights will be a starkly different one.
Under new coach Jon McCune, the Warriors have scrapped their I-formation, run-first attack for a four-wide, hurry-up offense with Nagy running the show.
The hope is that it will free up Nagy to use his improved arm, throwing mechanics and feet.
Nagy ran for 334 yards and five touchdowns last season. He also worked extensively with McCune this offseason.
Now, with Nagy's mechanics ironed out, McCune is expecting a lot out of his quarterback.
A full report will appear in the Butler Eagle.
