Brent Barnes accepted the head coaching position at Chaparral High School in Scottsdale, Arizona, prior to the 2018 season. He inherited a kid named Jack Miller who seemed to possess all of the physical traits that a coach can ask for in a quarterback and had already received attention from major college programs.
Barnes knew that Miller was a very good player right away, but it wasn’t until their first game together that fall on the road at Hamilton (Chandler, Arizona) High School that he realized just how special Miller is.
Miller picked apart one of the best teams in the state and threw for more than 400 yards.
