How BGA’s Kaedyn Marable has become one of the top passers in TSSAA football

HENDERSONVILLE – The Midstate’s leading passer had another typical night at the office Friday night.

Battle Ground Academy quarterback Kaedyn Marable was nearly perfect through the air, completing 14 of 15 passes for 215 yards and three touchdowns. The junior added 41 yards and another touchdown on six rushing attempts.

He did it all without so much as putting his helmet on in the second half.

Marable and BGA routed Pope John Paul II, 61-10, scoring on every offensive drive and sending the game to a running clock in the third quarter as the Wildcats’ starters rested. It’s the third time BGA (6-1, 2-1 DII-A Middle Region) has eclipsed the 60-point total this fall, thanks to a high-octane offensive system installed by first-year coach Bobby Bentley.

No system can become fully operational without the right players, and Bentley didn’t need much time to see that he had the right quarterback when he arrived at BGA. He watched film of Marable’s sophomore season, one in which he threw for 1,888 yards and 21 touchdowns with a 62% completion percentage, and came away impressed with his accuracy and quick-twitch athleticism.

“He’s very intelligent,” Bentley said. “The things that he sees, he sees it one time and he kind of knows the teachable moment of it. He knows how to check an audible. … Whatever you tell him to do as a coach, he’s gonna do it.”

That intelligence is how you get Marable praising Bentley’s offense — which includes plays with as many as three passing reads — for its simplicity. He’s certainly made it look that way. After Friday, Marable is 118-of-162 for 1,817 yards, 19 touchdowns and zero interceptions, while BGA averages 45 points per game.

Marable’s been watching more film in his second season as the Wildcats’ starter, and he’s put 15 pounds on his 6-foot-3,…
