As of this week, Plant quarterback Robert Marve has 3,795 yards passing which places him third behind Ponte Vedra Nease’s Tim Tebow (4,286 in 2004) and Tallahassee Leon’s Jimmy Jordan (4,098, in 1975) for passing yards in a season.
Marve’s 43 touchdowns in a season also places him in second in the state behind Tebow (46 in 2004).
His 233 completions has him sitting just behind Tallahassee Leon quarterback Wally Woodham (248 in 1974), Tebow (257 in 2004) and Jordan (263 in 1975).
Combining his passing yards (3,795) and his rushing yards (712) and his receiving yards (23) gives him a total of 4,530 in total offense. That would place him second behind Tebow (5,552 in 2004).
The Florida records are based on research by the Orlando Sentinel’s Buddy Collings.
Of course, Marve and the Panthers will play in the Class 4A state semifinal Friday against visiting Miami Booker T. Washington at 7:30 p.m.
