MATY MAUK: High School Football All-Time Passing Leader!!!

Maty Mauk

Written By: Doug Huff

The U.S. record for career passing yards remains in the Mauk family of Kenton, Ohio, but there's a NEW first name on top of the list!!!

Maty Mauk, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound senior for the Kenton Wildcats shattered the record Saturday night, held by his brother Ben, a current Wildcat assistant coach under head coach and father, Mike Mauk.  Ben Mauk, who later played for Wake Forrest and University of Cincinnati, ended his Kenton career in 2002 with 17,364 passing yards.

Maty Mauk, a University of Missouri commit, completed his first 19 passes and connected on 27 of 29 for 507 yards and an Ohio State record-tying nine touchdown passes in three quarters of a 74-22 opening round Divison IV playoff victory over visiting Wellington (Ohio), according to Kenrick Jesionowski of the Kenton Times. Kenton improved to 11-0 and Wellington ended their season at 7-4.

When Mauk, who also rushed for 80 yards, exited the game, the Wildcats led 66-22.  Mauk's 507 yard game pushed his four-year total to a record 17,770 yards and counting.  The younger Mauk already has the most touchdown passes in American high school football history, with 208.

It's worth noting that Mauk set the all-time passing record at the high school level on the same that that Houston's Case Keenum established the mark at the NCAA level.  The cougars QB also holds the NCAA career passing touchdowns record as well.

If Kenton advances to the state final, Mauk will have four more games to add onto his already impressive resume. Original Article
