Starting a sophomore at quarterback can make a coach go gray quickly, so at Scottsdale Coronado B.J. Pasquel is slowly brining along Alex Buya.
Buya’s primary responsibility this season has been to transfer the ball from center to running back – 60 of the Dons’ 72 offensive plays have been runs.
When he has been called on to throw, though, Buya has been highly effective. The 6-foot-2, 176-pounder completed five of six passes, one for a touchdown, in Coronado’s season opening win at Flagstaff Sinagua. In last week’s victory over Phoenix Cortez, Buya hit on three of six attempts and two went for scores.
With his eight completions, Buya has thrown for 311 yards, second most in the East Sky Region, and his touchdown passes have gone for 48, 63 and 47 yards.
Just as impressive, he has yet to throw an interception.
