GCL North spotlight

Bacon QB switches position

        Roger Bacon's Josh Hausfeld played well enough at quarterback as a sophomore to win GCL North honors as the league's Back of the Year. So why would he want a change of position?

        “Josh came to me in the offseason and said we ought to move Nate Wyrick in as quarterback and move (Hausfeld) to receiver. He felt that would make us a much better team,” coach Dan Starkey said.

        Starkey agreed with Hausfeld but still was floored by the humility and concern his star showed for the team.

        “Hausfeld is just a natural. You could play him at any position on the field.

        “He might be the best athlete we've had, and I've been at Roger Bacon for 24 years, so I don't say that lightly. On top of that, he's just very humble,” Starkey said.

        Hausfeld led Roger Bacon in basketball last year by averaging 18 points a game. This year in football, he'll start at flanker and free safety.
