   Allen County-Scottsville senior quarterback Chase Wilson has been named the Class 4A, Region One, District Two Player of the Year as chosen by the Kentucky Football Coaches Association.

 

   Wilson’s selection caps off a sensational senior season. Wilson completed 156 of 277 passes for a single season school record 2,658 yards and school-record 32 touchdowns. Wilson averaged 241.6 yards per game. His season high was a 373 yard effort in the Patriots’ 39-35 win over Class 2A state semifinalist Glasgow. Wilson also threw for 372 yards in AC-S’s 36-20 loss to Pulaski County. Wilson finished the regular season as the Class 4A passing leader in average yards per game and was sixth overall in the state in passing yards per game.

 

   Wilson will graduate AC-S as the school’s all-time leader in passing yards (5,750), touchdowns (58), total completed passes (365), and total attempted passes (671). Wilson holds the single game records for yards (373), completed passes (23), and touchdowns thrown (6). The senior played in 32 games in four seasons and will complete his high school career with a career passing average of 179.7 yards per game. Wilson threw for 150 or more yards in 16 of his last 18 games as a Patriot.

 

   This weekend, Wilson will receive his District POY award during halftime ceremonies at the Russell Athletic/Kentucky High School Athletic Association Gridiron Bowl Class 4A State Championship. The Class 4A championship will pit Franklin-Simpson against Johnson Central at 3:30 (CST) Saturday, December 2 at Kroger Field in Lexington.
