In-state QB Khayel Sam Fong-Talia is just a ninth grader at Dillon. However, his age has not impeded him from winning the starting job for the Wildcats.
The Wildcats have long been known for their run-heavy offense, but now with Fong-Talia taking the snaps, the team is throwing around the field more. A lot more.
In Dillon’s 41-0 win over Socastee last Friday, Fong-Talia completed 17-of-22 for 306 yards and three touchdowns. And he did all of that in the first half. It is the kind of performance that starts putting players on the radars of college programs.
