It has been a great career for Taft Raiders Senior Quarterback, John Shannon. He just finished his high school career, leading the Raiders to an undefeated 15-0 season, and winning the Texas Class 5A Division 1 State Title. His senior season was one for the history books, going 336-414 (81%) for 5,804 yards and 67 touchdown passes with 3 interceptions. He also ran the ball 153 times for 1,032 yards (6.9 ypc) with 11 touchdowns and no fumbles. He began the year unsure of where he wanted to continue his football career and now the day has come when he must choose. His initial list of schools included:
