South Forsyth junior Davis Shanley spent 51 quarters of the season torching defensive backs with his arm, swindling them his feet and gluing a team together despite being the younger, sillier kid on a team full of seniors—seniors that had assigned a destiny to the War Eagles football team, one that included a region championship and a run through the state playoffs. He finished the season with outstanding numbers: 2,348 passing yards, 25 touchdown passes, a 63-percent completion percentage, 623 rushing yards and eight scores on the ground. Expectations were met, the bar was raised, but Shanley’s going to spend the next few months thinking long and hard about the 52nd and final quarter of the season.
