Alexander plans its future at quarterback

LAREDO, Texas - After three years of not having to worry about the quarterback position, Alexander coach Joel Lopez suddenly has a vacancy to fill.  Senior quarterback Brian Swain is graduating after leading the team to a 26-12 record over three seasons, including a historic 12-1 run last year.

“(Quarterback) is the most important position,” Lopez said. “It’s very vital we get the guy who will listen to us and do what we ask, follow the rules and be a good student at school.”

Those expecting a wide-open quarterback battle will be disappointed, however. Lopez and offensive coordinator Leo Mireles say the position is senior-to-be Alex Bryand’s to lose – though Brian Swain’s younger brother, freshman Aaron Swain, will be competing for the spot as well.
