Dec. 23—Versatile. Big-play capability. Leader. Winner.
Pick a description above and it applies to Berlin Brothersvalley senior quarterback/safety Pace Prosser.
For four seasons, Prosser has made his presence felt on the area’s football fields — and basketball courts — while combining physical attributes, athleticism and a winning mentality to help the Mountaineers win 37 games against only seven losses since the 2020 season.

This season, Prosser completed 93 of 173 passes for 1,490 yards, 19 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He rushed for 557 yards, at 6.6 yards a carry, with four TDs.
